It treats different episodes in the history of the Christian Church and applies to each episode the questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy did Christians go to church?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy worship?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat happened to Christians there, substantively and otherwise, and how did they respond?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith these particular queries as well as passages from contemporary theological and liturgical texts as a starting-point, Cheung Salisbury carefully explores the evidence for the functions of Christian worship. He argues that the purpose and function of worship in Christian life has never been static and the particular approach of different periods to the liturgy has been moderated by wider cultural influences, by theological developments and changes, and by the particular circumstances in which the worship was carried out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheung Salisbury proposes that the various forms of worship through the centuries and the understanding of liturgy and worship among and upon Christians demonstrates the variety of ways that Christian living operates in service of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Cheung Salisbury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814663079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814663073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liturgical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Matthew Cheung Salisbury","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082571063551,"sku":"9780814663073","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hear-my-voice-o-god-matthew-cheung-salisbury-9780814663073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
