The cultural shift since 2001 is very different than that of the 60’s and 70’s. It is a culture tired of noise, turned off by phoniness, sick of glitz, and wary of the superficial. It is a culture that is searching for an authentic encounter with God, longing for depth and substance, craving quiet and spiritual contemplation, and moved by visual, tactile force of communication.

The New Worship Awakening examines the wide array of worship styles, from traditional to contemporary, currently in practice in today’s churches. Webber makes a compelling case for renewing the vigour of the church through two means: grounding worship in the biblical narrative and integrating an understanding of worship traditions throughout history.
