Comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of the Protestant worship service. In recent years, worship and liturgy have increasingly come into focus in both church perception and academic discussion. Courses aimed at fostering a stronger liturgical presence, the rediscovery of gesture and ritual alongside the word, or the extensive reflection on music in worship are just a few key points. This textbook offers a comprehensive liturgical knowledge from an ecumenical perspective regarding the history and present of worship, its various stages and forms, as well as the challenges that liturgical practice faces today. This is a continuation of the successful textbook series "Suggestions for Liturgical Practice.".
