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.
