What Goes Up Must Come Down

The Bible is full of incense. It permeates both the Old Testament and the New. Explore its purpose in Holy Scripture, its history in the Church, and its use in the parish. Discover how incense in Christian worship encourages our faith and enhances our awareness of God's holy presence."It is always wonderful for a student of Holy Scripture to share his knowledge and experience with the rest of the Church. In this book on the use of incense in the worship of the Church, Fr. Paul Edgerton has given us a very practical explanation of the reason God says he likes incense in worship and why incense has been used from pre-Christian Jewish worship down to the present Christian usage." - from the foreword by Bishop Daniel R. MorseThe Rev. Dr. Paul Edgerton is a presbyter of the Reformed Episcopal Church, ACNA. He studied at Cranmer Theological House (ThM) and The Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies (DWS).
