Infos

In this profound and sweeping study, Worshipping the Mystery of God explores the theological and liturgical heart of Anglican worship. John Shepherd traces the dramatic shift from worship as an embodiment of the divine presence to a reformed emphasis on remembrance, rationality and edification.Through the voices of Anglican divines Hooker, Andrewes, Donne, Taylor, and others this book reclaims the richness of worship as a participation in the mystery of God. It examines how music, ceremony, architecture, and beauty were not mere embellishments, but essential expressions of a theology that united heaven and earth.With scholarly depth and pastoral insight, Shepherd challenges reductive views of worship and offers a compelling vision of liturgy as a transformative encounter with the holy.
