"Mere Worship: Exploring Christian Worship" is about exploring and developing a theology of worship. The work is grounded in Scripture, theology, and Church history. Years of experience in working through various worship ministries have shaped and developed my own outlook on worship. "Mere Worship" is heavily influenced by C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity" and Alister McGrath's writings. These two authors and many others have shaped and challenged my own ideas and concepts on Christianity, theology and worship. "Mere Worship" tries to bring together a coherent picture of the Christian vision of God. It is written in a way that explains difficult ideas and concepts into managable and memorable ways. It was written out of the conviction that the Church simply does not understand why we do certain things in worship. It tries to bring together research from scripture, theology, philosophy, history and practical ministry.
