Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-23730-0 (ISBN)
This book explores the church's engagement with worship and theology as a result of the pandemic, especially as it relates to digital worship and the means of grace. Organized around the four-fold pattern of Sunday worship-Gathering, Word, Meal, Sending-this collection of essays provides source material for both theological discernment and practical implementation. Topics include preparing and theologizing worship no matter the modality, engaging the questions of embodiment as related to the incarnation of Christ, and looking at the theology of church in a digital age. Renowned scholars in the field explore how online worship provides for the visibility of the gospel, how to lament and pray in the midst of pandemic and future crises, and how the mission of the church through its worship can continue regardless of physical restrictions. This timely collection appeals to researchers, professionals, and practitioners in the field.

"Church After the Corona Pandemic is a book that follow up on its promises to provide the reader with theological tools to move forward in the post-pandemic world. As such, it is highly interesting not only for Lutheran readers, but for all theologians who take the challenge of a global crisis seriously and are not satisfied with going back to business as usual."
