Every church, whatever its size, can be more creative and effective in proclaiming, celebrating, and responding to the scripture readings. Here is a remarkably inventive library of liturgical resources that's guaranteed to spark the creativity of anyone planning worship services. Robert Ingram's fertile imagination overflows with inspired ideas for presenting the lectionary epistle lesson, reinforced by visual imagery and recurring references throughout worship. For each Sunday and major occasion during the Christian year, Worship Workbook For The Epistles includes greetings, prayers, suggested hymns and choruses, and possibilities for decorating the worship space (including ideas for projected visuals). There's also a wealth of approaches for creative reading and dramatic presentation of the scripture, including movement, skits, short stories, and puppet plays.Like Ingram's acclaimed Worship Workbook For The Gospels series, this is a must-have volume for pastors, lay readers, musicians, artists, and drama groups -- anyone who contributes to worshipers hearing and responding to the living Word of God.

This study provides a radical reassessment of the English Reformation. No one in eighteenth-century England thought that they were living during ‘the Enlightenment’; instead, they saw themselves as facing the religious, intellectual and political problems unleashed by the Reformation, which began in the sixteenth century. Moreover, they faced those problems in the aftermath of two bloody seventeenth-century political and religious revolutions. This book examines how the eighteenth-century English debated the causes and consequences of those revolutions and the thing they thought had caused them, the Reformation. It draws on a wide array of manuscript sources to show how authors crafted and pitched their works.
