How can a pastor provide care for church members through worship and sacrament? How might a congregation balance tradition and innovation? How significant are Christian symbols and images in worship? How can we make our congregations more multicultural?
To the relief of pastors and laypersons alike, Todd Johnson has edited a new collection of essays that addresses these issues and more, positively and constructively. Inspired by the work and witness of theologian Robert Webber, The Conviction of Things Not Seen offers a unique approach focusing on the integral relationship between worship and pastoral ministry. This book, with contributions by William Willimon, John Witvliet, Rob Johnston, Rodney Clapp, and Donald Bloesch, will be a lighthouse for anyone navigating the unsettled seas of contemporary worship.
