Exploring the Worship Theology of Robert E. Webber with Dr. Jonathan Powers
Join this very special episode exploring the worship theology of Dr. Robert (Bob) E. Webber, who urged evangelicals toward theological substance and historical rootedness in worship.
Dr. Jeremy Perigo hosts leading Webber scholar Dr. Jonathan Powers (Asbury Theological Seminary) to discuss Webber’s quest to bring worship renewal to evangelicals through his writings, teachings, and the establishment of the Institute for Worship Studies.
Webber was a monumental voice and pioneer in evangelical worship studies. His insights have shaped modern evangelical worship practice and scholarship. Hear Perigo and Powers discuss Webber’s practical theology of worship, which emphasizes Scripture, historical context, congregational participation, and the overall narrative of worship. Many of Webber’s critiques and constructions remain relevant to worship today.
Additionally, join Perigo and Powers as they share reflections from their own time at the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies and their thoughts on the future of worship education.
