Watch A History of Christian Worship Season 1 Online

The Word explores how the written and spoken word consisting of scriptures, sermons and creeds have remembered and celebrated God’s story throughout centuries of Christianity, including: • What early church documents reveal about ancient worship practices and why many churches are recovering and continuing these ancient faith practices today? • How stained glass has been used to tell the stories of scripture, including a visit to the oldest continually operating stained glass studio in America? • Why influences such as the printing press and the translation of the Bible into the language of the people dramatically changed how scripture is used in worship? • How great preaching movements of the church have influenced the development of sermons and homilies? • Why creeds such as the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds are an important tool for teaching the essentials of the Christian faith?
