Abstract
  • Contemporary worship is often viewed as a concession to the individualism and entertainment mentality of our culture. Critics fear that contemporary worship creates religious consumers, not authentic disciples. This thesis, however, maintains that deeply-rooted generational patterns, the impact of media, and the tensions between order and ardor, identity and relevance, and congregational culture and mission, have spurred a hunger for contemporary culture. It maintains that new forms of worship are a way of translating the gospel into the vernacular, the language of the people, and that with theological reflection and a commitment to excellence, contemporary worship can help reach generations disinterested in traditional forms of worship.
