Two questions lie at the heart of this rich; suggestive book: What are the theological implications of worship? and What are the liturgical implications of theology? Convinced that worship and theology are integrally related; the authors of A More Profound Alleluia show in practical terms how liturgy and doctrine fruitfully illuminate each other. Each chapter pairs an element of the worship service with related Christian teachings; clearly demonstrating how the great doctrines of the faith find their natural expression in the drama of worship and how the liturgy in turn finds its corollary in doctrine. The interrelation of theology and worship is illustrated with anecdotes from congregational life; resources drawn from church history; and themes from novels and films. Each chapter also includes two hymn texts that exemplify orthodox doctrine communicated through song.A More Profound Alleluia will be a valuable text for courses in theology or worship; will help worship leaders to plan services with greater theological depth; and will enhance worship for Christian believers generally.Contributors: Ronald P.

Not Named for a RiverBy paddyo"The Bronx was given its name in 1898 when the new borough was named after its single largest geographical feature: the Bronx River"What??????? Jesus; at least do a little research into how the Bronx was named.The Bronx River was originally called Broncks River.Named after Swedish immigrant; Jonas Bronck; the first recorded European settler to the area.Thus; it is he who the borough is named; not the river.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A showcase of vintage; black-and-white photographs capturing history; flavor and characterBy Midwest Book ReviewPart of Arcadia Publishings excellent "Then Now" series; Then Now: The Bronx is a showcase of vintage; black-and-white photographs capturing history; flavor and character of one of New Yorks most well-known boroughs; named after the nearby Bronx River. Each image is accompanied by a detailed caption that adds context and insight to the memorable photograph itself. Most of the images in "Then Now: The Bronx" were taken during the first two-thirds of the twentieth century; all reveal a telltale glimpse of Americas vibrant past. Highly recommended. "An aerial photograph of the Freedomland Amusement Park site shows the property contoured into the shape of the continental United States. Although the amusement park lasted a brief time - ground-breaking took place in 1959; it declared bankruptcy in September 1964; and was torn down early 1965 - Freedomland holds some very fond memories for many New York-area baby boomers. The location of the park is now occupied by Co-op City and the Bay Plaza Shopping Center."
