Weaving together the three strands of worship, mission and post-Christendom creates a colorful tapestry. What is worship like in post-Christendom? How is God's mission active in the world today? An exposition of Paul’s ideas on worship and mission in 1 Corinthians 11 – 14 provides a warp on which the authors build a weft of conviction that worshipping the missional God transforms the worshippers, the church, and the world. Transformed lives attract outsiders to join in the worship. Here is a vision for Christians today, rooted in ancient history and present-day experience, and offering realistic ideas and encouraging examples. Alan and Eleanor Kreider are Mennonite Christians in the Anabaptist tradition who have lived on both sides of the Atlantic, studied the worship and witness of the Christians of the early centuries, and worshipped and worked missionally alongside Christians of many traditions.
