The biblical Psalms are, without doubt, a valuable source for
Christian worship, but the vast text can prove daunting without
direction. John D. Witvliet offers a solution with this brief but
comprehensive survey of key theological themes, practical
guidelines, and published resources related to the use of the
Psalms.
Arranged in symphonic form with a "prelude" and "interludes,"
"The Biblical Psalms in Christian Worship" opens with a foundation
of words about the Psalms from our wise church fathers, followed by
a broad meditation on the basics of worship. Witvliet follows with
an extensive tutorial on choosing a Psalm, engaging a congregation,
deciding whether to speak or sing the text, and many other
practical solutions for integrating Psalms into congregational
worship for any generation.
By including both classroom exercises and a brief musical Psalm
sampler as helpful appendices, Witvliet provides all the resources
necessary to spark a renewed engagement with the Psalms in
community and public worship. This will be an important text for
pastors and worship leaders desiring to lead their congregations to
renewal.
