Evangelicals, Worship and Participation
This book probes the ways in which turn-of-the-millennium evangelicals in North America have regarded the landscape of participation. Rathe views relevant evangelical literature by looking through a surprising lens borrowed from medieval theology, bringing into focus not only evangelical understandings, but also the identities and historical traditions they reflect. One of the broadest reviews yet made of evangelical worship literature, this book reconnects evangelical tradition to the “Great Tradition” and in the process re-appropriates classic concepts that are full of promise for contemporary ecumenical dialogue.
preacher as 'first listener' : 'calling' as a source of authority within the Flemish evangelical preaching tradition
The preacher's weekly assignment is brutally repetitive: Fill the blank page by Sunday, at least twice a month, if not, even more. This book offers a biblical, theological and empirical grounding to support the preacher's self-reflective, listening, and sermonizing practices in order for the preacher to be aware of his/her spirituality of listening and discernment.

The Resilient Pastor
How can pastors become resilient in a rapidly changing world? Is it possible to love well and lead faithfully?

Drawing on new research from the Barna Group, Scripture, and church history, pastor, theologian, and researcher Glenn Packiam addresses some of the most pressing questions for today's leaders, including - What is a pastor's calling and vocation? - How do church leaders regain credibility in a disillusioned world? - How do church leaders culti...

How is our Christian hope both expressed and experienced in contemporary worship?

Evangelical Worship
Say the words “evangelical worship” to anyone in the United States -- even if they are not particularly religious -- and a picture will likely spring to mind unbidden: a mass of white middle-class worshippers with eyes closed, faces tilted upward, and hands raised to the sky. Weaving together insights from American religious history and liturgical studies, and drawing on extensive fieldwork in seven congregations, Melanie C. Ross brings contemporary evangelical worship to life. Critics have underestimated evangelical worship, seeing it as little more than a manipulative effort to arouse devotional exhilaration. This book will irrevocably change that interpretation, revealing worship to be the site where congregations forge, argue over, and enact their unique contributions to the American mosaic known as evangelicalism.
Early Methodist Life and Spirituality
Representative writings of early American Methodists illustrating their spirituality and lives.

Materials from Francis Asbury, Thomas Coke, Peter Cartwright, as well as rank-and-file Methodists are included. Ruth's book demonstrates that early Methodism was made up of both men and women and both Black and White persons. The primary material includes sermon outlines, journal and diary entries, excerpts from correspondence, hymnody and poetry, theological reflections, and contemporaneous historical descriptions.
