MAITLAND, FL—Errol T. Stoddart’s new book, The Silent Shout ($15.99, paperback,
9781498469777, $7.99, eBook, 9781498469784) addresses the
impact of culture and socialization on worship responses. In many cultures we
were taught to be quiet, avoid clapping or shouting in church. The Silent Shout takes the time to
study Biblical worship responses that engage the entire being.
Stoddart
says, “Clarity and freedom in worship expression that's grounded in scripture
not necessarily in cultural traditions. While culture and tradition are
essential to who we are, scripture supersedes all. There are people at both
extremes of the spectrum who believe on the one hand that anything goes in
worship as long as it's sincere; and on the other hand that worship should be
so sterilized that very little in the way of physical engagement should be
demonstrated. This book challenges many presuppositions and cultural norms that
have stigmatized Christian worship expression as Eurocentric or Victorian.
Christian worship should be based on clear Biblical examples and insights.”
