Theology for Pew and Pulpit The Everlasting Song

Theology for Pew and Pulpit takes a serious look at what a congregation does every Sunday.In the words of one reader, "this book falls somewhere between Garrison Keillor and Karl Barth." Keillor because it is rooted in the homely events of congregational life; the old stones in a graveyard, the Christmas Pageant, Lenten programs, the baptism of a child, all the rituals that mark both the church year and the lives of the parishioners. Barth, because in each event the strong sense of Word and mission of the Holy Spirit is attested to by Scripture, hymns, liturgical and pastoral prayers.Bassett, Joseph A. is the author of 'Theology for Pew and Pulpit The Everlasting Song', published 1995 under ISBN 9780942597905 and ISBN 0942597907.
