Summary: "In Liturgical Theology, Simon Chan issues a call to evangelicals to develop a mature theology of the church - an ecclesiology that is grounded in the church's identity as a worshiping community. Evangelicals, he argues, are confused about the meaning and purpose of the church in part because they have an inadequate understanding of Christian worship. As a remedy for this ailment, Chan presents a coherent theology of the church that pays particular attention to the liturgical practices that have constituted Christian worship throughout the centuries. He guides the reader through these practices and unpacks their significance for theology, spirituality and the renewal of evangelicalism in the postmodern era."--Jacket.
The ontology of the church -- The worship of the church -- The shape of the liturgy -- The liturgy as ecclesial practice -- The catechumenate -- The Sunday liturgy -- Active participation.
