Worship in the Spirit of Jesus: Theology, Liturgy, and Songs Without Violence by Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer and Bret Hesla. Worship in the Spirit of Jesus has three main goals: - to engage adult lay Christians in discussions that examine how and why Christianity came to have so many violent images and expectations of God - to describe the historical and modern consequences of these violent images and expectations - to offer alternative theological understandings and worship resources that are rooted in the nonviolent spirit of Jesus
