Christian Worship and Its Cultural Setting

This serious inquiry into the relationship between worship and its cultural setting can help pastors, seminarians, and other worship leaders steer a path between cultural capitulation on the one hand and cultural irrelevancy on the other in the ordering and doing of Christian liturgy. Senn suggests that the interplay between cult and culture should be a transformation of culture as it is appropriated in Christian worship, leading to an experience which is both a human activity and a transcendental event.
