"Public Worship and Public Work examines theological claims about the relationship of worship and ethics by means of ethnographic study of the life, worship, and work of three vibrant congregations. The book moves beyond two caricatures of the relationship between worship and social ethics. Rather than deterministic portrayals of the church as a reflection of its culture and context and causal accounts of the church's liturgy forming a Christian witness over against culture, Public Worship and Public Work lifts up congregational identity as the site of dynamic interaction between worship, social ethics, and culture."--BOOK JACKET.
