Summary note

Say the words 'evangelical worship' to anyone in the United States - even if they are not particularly religious - and a picture will likely spring to mind unbidden: a mass of white middle-class worshippers with eyes closed, faces tilted upward, and hands raised to the sky. Weaving together insights from American religious history and liturgical studies, and drawing on extensive fieldwork in seven congregations, Melanie C. Ross brings contemporary evangelical worship to life. Critics have underestimated evangelical worship, seeing it as little more than a manipulative effort to arouse devotional exhilaration.
