Inhalt:

"With eloquence and ecumenical hospitality--as well as laser-like insight--Edith Humphrey has given us a much-needed biblical and practical theology for entering into the worship of the Triune God. Anyone who participates in worship and especially anyone who leads in worship, whether traditional or contemporary, liturgical or free, should read this timely book now."--Michael J. Gorman, The Ecumenical Institute of Theology, St. Mary's Seminary & University "In a study that is at once biblical, theological, historical, and practical, Humphrey explores the essence of true Christian worship. Her insights illumine a wide range of traditional and contemporary practices, and she poses probing questions that often challenge popular wisdom about liturgy. This is a book not only for worship leaders but also for the whole congregation to study together."--Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School "Worship, like Bible reading, is not about finding something new but about entering into the Old Story. Don't expect Humphrey's book to settle the worship wars. Expect it to go behind the wars into the great tradition where worship was about entrance into the presence of God."--Scot McKnight, North Park University "Through Scripture, the early church fathers, and the author's own personal experience, Grand Entrance examines the centrality of liturgy in biblical religion and the Christian tradition, bearing witness to the rites of East and West in the process."--Scott Hahn, St. Vincent Seminary and Franciscan University of Steubenville "Instructed by the great biblical categories of redemption, covenant, worship, and assembly, Humphrey has written a book rich in theology, contemplative wisdom, and practical insight."--Patrick Henry Reardon, author, Chronicles of History and Worship; pastor, All Saints Orthodox Church, Chicago "A must-read for anyone interested in a scholarly yet accessible treatment of Christian worship. Humphrey's meticulous scholarship, accessible writing, insightful questions, and balanced critique highlight the radical nature of what it means to enter--together--into God's presence for worship."--Judith M. Kubicki, Fordham University "An especially welcome tonic for all of us exhausted by the quest for endless innovation in church life. This is a book of prophetic insight that you will wrestle with, talk back to, argue against, and sing along with."--John D. Witvliet, Calvin University and Calvin Theological Seminary
