Worship as Invocation

By: Hughes Oliphant Old

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This series of books that explores doxology as a theology of Christian worship represents a key golden nugget in understanding worship. If this were the Discovery channel "Gold Rush" program, you would have indeed found the Mother lode. Old's classic work is indeed a true gift and jewel in the understanding of Protestant worship, built on biblical bedrock. In this second book and the first look at a particular theme and variation of doxology, that of prayer, invocation, calling on the name of the Lord, new clarity about the meaning of Scripture around prayer and invoking the name of the Lord emerge. The place of Lament in our lexicon of worship, the example of Jesus, and the historical practice and legacy of "calling on the name of the Lord" are explored and illuminated. For pastors, worship leaders and those who long to worship God with heart, might, mind and strength, this is indeed a 'worship essential' from the preeminent scholar on doxology as theology of Christian worship.
