Foundations -- On practices and practical theology -- Worship as work, warfare, and witness -- Worship as true, good, and beautiful -- Worship as Trinitarian practice -- Worship as language school -- Renovations -- Witness as kingdom words and deeds -- Discipleship as human flourishing -- Formations -- Baptism, Eucharist amd footwashing as participation in Christ -- Confession as the shape of the church -- Suffering as the power of the kingdom -- Appendix: Practicing church : evangelical ecclesiologies at the end of modernity (Francis Schaeffer, Charles Colson, Rick Warren, and Brian McLaren).
Jonathan R Wilson discusses how worship is work, witness, and warfare; how it grounds us in the good and the true and the beautiful; and how it teaches and shapes us in the language of faith. He then fleshes out his vision for the church by looking in depth at three practices-baptism, communion, and foot-washing. Wilson further explores how confession and the formative power of prayer and suffering shape the body of Christ.
