Christ-Centered Worship: Letting the Gospel Shape Our Practice

The traditional-vs-contemporary worship debate in evangelical churches has diverted so much energy from more pressing mission priorities. Bryan Chapell offers churches a Christ-centred understanding of worship that enables them to move past the dissension and unite in ministry.

The church's worship has always been shaped by its understanding of the gospel. Here the bestselling author of *Christ-Centered Preaching* brings biblical and historical perspective to discussions about worship, demonstrating that the gospel has shaped key worship traditions and should shape today's worship as well.
