The work required to produce a denominational service book and hymnal is multifaceted both because of the nature of its contents and because worship is the focal point of the life of the church. To produce the Lutheran Book of Worship the participating churches established the Inter-Lutheran Commission on Worship, which in turn established subcommittees, working committees and task forces. The author has produced an historical account and analysis of that process has mastered endless details, all the while keeping the larger picture in view. This book is a mother lode of information on the development of Lutheran Book of Worship.

"Liturgical worship is often viewed as nothing more than an outdated tradition, or a series of meaningless words and motions. The reality, however is much different. The form of worship that is often described as liturgical, or traditional, has strong roots in both Scripture and Christian history. In this book, Rev. Cooper explains the Biblical and theological foundations of liturgical worship. This is then followed by chapters on various aspects of the worship service. The meaning of each element is illuminated alongside of the rich Scriptural teaching within these aspects of Christian worship." -- back cover.

"This commentary on the epistle of James provides an original translation, meticulous grammatical analysis of the Greek text, and theological exposition addressing perpetual issues in the life of the church and highlighting the enduring relevance of this epistle for Christians amid trials. The author presents careful research into the historical context, purpose, structure, and message of James, which has often been misunderstood, notably in the Lutheran tradition. Dr. Giese offers a positive, corrective interpretation. The overarching theme of James is "the gifts of the giving God and their use." James 1:16-18 stands as the theological center of the book: the eschatological gift of rebirth in Jesus Christ, to be firstfruits of the new creation, establishes the right use of all other divine gifts"--
