Description

Jeremy Begbie holds that reports which suggest an increased longing for mystery in worship in Western churches signal vital concerns that need to be heeded. Begbie contrasts two historical approaches to mystery in the Church, and he suggests four dimensions in which the arts can foster a New Testament sense of mystery in worship and preserve and communicate the true sense of oddity at the heart of the Gospel.
