Worshipping Trinity : Coming Back to the Heart of Worship (2nd Edition)

'If worship is God centered, and God is the Trinity, then worship should be Trinity centered.' 'Worshipping Trinity' explores the meaning and implications of that simple claim. Written for church leaders, worship leaders, and songwriters, as well as for those interested in theology, this volume explains why the Trinity matters so much and explores practical ways our worship can be made more Trinitarian. This second edition is fully updated and expanded. 'The book has become a classic - and rightly so. There is nothing else like it. It brings first-rate theology and astute practical wisdom to the very heart of the church's life. And the second edition is even better than the first!' Jeremy Begbie, Duke Divinity School. 'Robin Parry is a fine theologian who writes accessibly and engagingly. I hope that this second edition will be very widely read. It has the capacity to enable the renewal of the life and worship of the church.' John Inge, Bishop of Worcester. ' This is an extremely helpful book!' Matt Redman, songwriter and worship leader. 'Robin Parry has given us a terrific resource with which we can see a clearer picture of the God we worship.' Keith Getty, hymn writer. 'Not merely theologically profound but lucid, accessible, and prof oundly relevant.' Alan J. Torrance, University of St. Andrews. 'This is a most important book.'
