Was geschieht im Gottesdienst?: Zur theologischen Bedeutung des Gottesdienstes und seiner Formen

The book presents traditional and newer forms of worship in an understandable way and explains their theological foundations. It is about the prerequisites of the worship service, the worship space, the church year, the dramaturgy as well as the individual pieces of the evangelical worship in their basic forms. Central aspects such as prayer, Lord’s Supper, music and blessings come to the fore. The author also turns to ‘other’ divine services - casualia, divine services for specific target groups and alternative divine services. The connection between worship and spirituality, church building, quality, inclusion and theology conclude the volume.
