A. Smith's three-volume theology of culture, the author expands and deepens the analysis of cultural liturgies and Christian worship he developed in his well-received \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesiring the Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. He helps us understand and appreciate the bodily basis of habit formation and how liturgical formation—both \"secular\" and Christian—affects our fundamental orientation to the world. Worship \"works\" by leveraging our bodies to transform our imagination, and it does this through stories we understand on a register that is closer to body than mind. This has critical implications for how we think about Christian formation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chr-General","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42442543005920,"sku":"Books:9780801035784n","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/products\/51qs4yILe0L._SX331_BO1_204_203_200___88487.jpg?v=1644950462","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/imagining-the-kingdom","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
