In his characteristically engaging style, Brueggemann explores the leading motifs of ancient Israel's worship traditions and their practical implications for today's church in its ecumenical character. Surveying Old Testament themes, central texts, prayers, festivals, and worship practices, he reveals a central emphasis on worship as a covenantal gesture and community utterance in the presence of God. 104 pages, softcover from Abingdon.

In an engaging style--characteristic of the author, Walter Brueggemann--this Essential Guide describes the leading motifs of ancient Israel’s worship traditions in the Old Testament. The author guides the reader through the themes, central texts, prayers, festivals, and practices of that worship. He sees throughout the Old Testament a central emphasis on worship as a covenantal gesture and utterance by the community in the presence of God. In addition to being an essential guide to this subject, this book is intended to be in the service of current theological and practical issues concerning worship of the church in its ecumenical character.

Walter Brueggemann is William Marcellus McPheeters Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary. A past president of the Society of Biblical Literature, he is one of today's preeminent interpreters of Scripture.
