ldquo;A worship that will have staying power is a worship that is firmly grounded in the old; yet aware of and concerned for new ways to respond to the old; old story.rdquo;In the first edition of Worship Old and New; Robert E. Webber introduced an approach to worship that blended historical and traditional practices with contemporary elements. Since then; the spreading fires of worship renewal have provided opportunity for fresh consideration. This significantly revised edition is the result of Webberrsquo;s interaction with current worship trends. It is intended to be used both in the classroom and by those who want to improve worship in the local church.Reformatted for an easier; logical approach to worship theology; this revised edition of Worship Old and New is divided into four major sections; addressing the biblical foundation of worship; its theology; its history; and its practice. New information has been incorporated into each section to give the reader a better grasp of the biblical themes of worship; a deeper understanding of Old Testament customs; and a solid grounding in modern-day renewal movements.Especially significant is a reexamination of the actual practice of worship that goes beyond the merely academic to provide a practical perspective through the eyes of the worship leader and worshipers.Well-versed in the best of both past and present; Worship Old and New is a scholarly; up-to-date; and thought-provoking resource for those serious about exploring worship.

He breaks the subject matter between long ships and round ships and presents the ships in chronological order from ancient galleys to clippers.The content of the description seems to be drawn from personal experience; where possible; and various research sources. The author does use a lot of naval terminology for rigging and ship structure that may leave the young or unversed in the dark. The real glory of the book is not; however; the entertaining prose; but the drawings of the ships. The art ranges from mostly black ink renderings of the ships to a few water colors (at least in my hardcover copy) that are simply beautiful pieces.If you are lucky enough to find a decent early copy (like my 1924 copy) jump on it. Or; if you are interested in seeing what various sailing ships looked like; any copy will do.P-)3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The Book of Old ShipsBy KayI bought this book because I needed reference pictures of ships in order to draw them.This book has 1 illustration per ship. A good overview(some text written) on the old ships and good illustrations too. It would be great to have more pictures; from a couple different angles.This book doesnt help people who need to see details and learn about ship rigging or how they work or anything. But it is a great place on where to start to find out what ships are called and what they look like. Im not sorry I bought it for the price.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. fluffBy Nashorn99This book is great if you want to know what kind of rigging eachship had. You will not get how many crewman it took to sail each ship unless its a galley then you can figure it out by how many oars it had. On some you will get the tonnage of a particular ship but not always. You dont get any idea the cargo it was able to hold in tonnage or what type of cargo it mainly shipped. Nothing about what kind of weaponary ie cannon6pounder;12pounder etc. I did like the pictures. I did learn about ships that I never knew existed. Thats why I said fluffin the title.
