Why have such varied traditions of worship come down through history? The field of liturgical studies readily acknowledges that each tradition of worship has sought, in its own way, to worship faithfully. Biblical and hermeneutical efforts have shaped particular liturgical practices, yet these practices have also been shaped by the diverse cultural and historical contexts in which they developed. Understanding these divergences requires careful theological and historical reflection.
Worship in Conversation is the result of a scholarly inquiry into the complexities of Christian worship. Through extensive research and in-depth engagement with leading scholars in liturgical studies, this book explores how worship has been shaped by theological discourse, historical developments, and contemporary challenges. Drawing from a series of structured conversations, Hwarang Moon curates and analyzes key insights from these scholars, placing them within a broader framework that highlights both the diversity and the common threads of Christian worship.
Rather than merely presenting interviews, Worship in Conversation offers a critical exploration of the liturgical task. By structuring these dialogues around key theological themes and contemporary concerns, this book seeks to illuminate the ways in which worship continues to shape and be shaped by the life of the church. What emerges is a unifying vision that transcends denominational boundaries while honoring the richness of liturgical diversity.
