Although the arts have played a significant role in both world history and Christian history, the contemporary church has often shunned them in favor of a more intellectual approach to theology. Beholding the Glory argues the necessity of renewing an engagement between theology and the arts. Specifically focusing on the incarnation, the book shows how the arts have an indispensable role to play in disclosing God's wisdom.

With an introduction by the editor, the book consists of eight essays written by practicing artists (a sculptor, poet, dancer, and musician), theologians, and professors-all well-versed in the relationship between imagination and theology.

Beholding the Glory would be an appropriate text for humanities courses as well as theological courses that stress a multifaceted approach to Christian doctrine..

Reveals the esoteric techniques of achieving divine Union based on the practices of the Sufi poet Rumi and his mysterious spiritual companion Shams-i-Tabriz.

* Reveals the actual practices that transformed Rumi from a conventional Islamic scholar into the mystical poet who originated the dance of the whirling dervish.

* Demonstrates how anyone can achieve similar states of ecstatic divine Union through the simple practice of intentional gazing.

* Interweaves the poetry and writings of Rumi to document this radical practice.

One of the most extraordinary events in the history of Sufism occurred in 1244, when the Sufi poet, mystic, and originator of the dance of the whirling dervish, Jallaludin Rumi, met a wandering seeker named Shams-i-Tabriz. Upon meeting, the two men immediately went into private retreat together and emerged 90 days later in a transformed condition. While the relationship between Rumi and Shams is highly revered within the Sufi tradition, the exact nature of what transpired between them has remained a mystery for the past 750 years.

Rumi: Gazing at the Beloved reveals for the first time the actual esoteric practice that Rumi and Shams were engaged in behind the closed doors of their retreat room. Using the poetry and words of Rumi to document this radical practice step-by-step, Will Johnson resolves this long-standing spiritual mystery by conducting an extensive search through Rumi's life to uncover the mystical secrets of divine Union in sacred friendship and intimate partnering. In doing so, he presents a practice that anyone can engage in to attain the same ecstatic state of divine Union experienced by Rumi and Shams so many centuries ago..

True worship is what happens when God does in our hearts what we cannot do ourselves Even the most well-planned, elaborate worship, with the most beautiful music and the most enthusiastic worshipers, is meaningless if one very important Person doesn’t show up.

In this book of instruction and encouragement, longtime pastor Skip Ryan teaches us how we can prepare our hearts and minds to come before the Lord in worship. It will help you, your family, and your congregation place more emphasis on the true purpose of worship: exalting the Lord and beholding His beauty.

“Skip Ryan is an accomplished worship leader—or more accurately, in worship he is a true servant leader who knows how to lead us into God’s very presence. In these rich and helpful meditations, he shares his heart on what is central to his calling as a pastor.”
—Os Guinness, author of The Call

“Worship Jesus in His joyful assembly with all His holy angels and His chosen people: Gabriel, Michael; Moses, Elijah; John, Mary, Peter, and Paul; your own parents, and those who told you the story of Jesus. Thank the Lord for them. Use Skip Ryan’s book and its dialogue sections at the end.”
—Edmund Clowney (1917–2005), President Emeritus, Westminster Seminary, minister, author, mentor

“As those who know him would expect, Skip has written a little classic on worship. It is richly expositional, profoundly theological, and eminently practical. Our liturgists and members will use this for years to come.”
—Sandy Willson, Senior Minister, Second Presbyterian Church, Memphis, TN
