Rempel offers a vision for this kind of transformative worship. A theologian and minister in the Mennonite Church, Rempel considers the role of the sacraments and ritual within the Free Church tradition. While the Free Churches rightly sought to cleanse the church of the abuses of sacramentalism, in that process they also set aside some of the churchs historic practices and the theology behind them, which ultimately impoverished their worship.In response to this liturgically thin space, Rempel appeals to the incarnation of Christ, whose taking on of flesh can help us perceive the sacramental nature of our faith and worship. By embracing lifegiving and peacemaking practices, the worship of not only the Free Church tradition but of the whole body of Christ might be transformed and become enchanted once again.The Dynamics of Christian Worship series draws from a wide range of worshiping contexts and denominational backgrounds to unpack the many dynamics of Christian worshipincluding prayer, reading the Bible, preaching, baptism, the Lords Supper, music, visual art, architecture, and moreto deepen both the theology and practice of Christian worship for the life of the church.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IVP Academic","offers":[{"title":"Rempel, John D. \/ paperback","offer_id":47846719455477,"sku":"SONG0830849297","price":10.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/81HsXcW-F8L.jpg?v=1773839932","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/recapturing-an-enchanted-world-ritual-and-sacrament-in-the-free-church-tradition-dynamics-of-christian-worship","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
