"Renowned experts challenge the image of Reformed worship as a static, sober, interior, and largely individual experience focused on the sermon. The contributions examine this phenomenon broadly, from angles ranging from ritual studies, liturgical innovation, material culture, to social impact; together they highlight the material, sensory, emotional, experiential, vibrat, and negotiated dimensions of Reformed religious culture. Worship emerges as both a site of conflict and renewal in Reformed traditions, inspiring not only confrontations and debates but also fruitful engagements that stimulated and continue to invite reflection on this critical category in Reformed faith traditions, self-understandings, and cultural impact."--Back cover.
