The History And Theology Of The Christian Year

Regulating the life of the church today by the Christian calendar is no easy task. Life-long habits need to be reoriented to this way of marking time. If churches are to accomplish this task, worship leaders and planners must learn a great deal about the history and theology that have shaped the Christian calendar. The great benefit of the Christian year is that the worshiping church is able to follow a rich and meaningful way of orienting its life around the work of Jesus Christ. As shown in this section, studying the history and theology of the Christian year can only help the church do justice to the profound implications of each aspect of Jesus' life.
