Book Review Coming: Ancient-Future Worship

By jdgoodwyne on Feb 10, 2010 in Blog

I’ve just begun to read Dr. Robert Webber’s Ancient-Future Worship: Proclaiming and Enacting God’s Narrative and in the coming days, I hope to transmit some thoughts about it. This is a book I should have read some time ago, though I have already been heavily influenced by Webber’s theology of worship and liturgy. Bob Glick at Erskine Theological Seminary was student of Webber (not literally) and much of what I learned about worship there had some rooting in Webber’s theology. Ancient-Future Worship is part of a series of Webber’s, the Ancient-Future Series, of which Ancient-Future Worship was the crowning work. It was the last thing Dr. Webber wrote before he met his Savior in 2007. Webber’s main contention in his Ancient-Future material is that “the road to the future runs through the past.” He relies heavily on the Fathers, as well as the rest of Christian history to show that while Christianity is constantly re-contextualized, it has no need of reinvention, and current Christians would do well to consider their forebears when looking forward.

More to come.
