What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians
tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless
of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to
meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer
him the praise that is his due. ---D. A. Carson Worship is a hot
topic, but the ways that Christians from different traditions view
it vary greatly. What is worship? More important, what does it look
like in action, both in our corporate gatherings and in our daily
lives? These concerns---the blending of principle and
practice---are what Worship by the Book addresses. Cutting through
cultural cliches, D. A. Carson, Mark Ashton, Kent Hughes, and
Timothy Keller explore, respectively: .Worship Under the Word
.Following in Cranmer s Footsteps .Free Church Worship: The
Challenge of Freedom .Reformed Worship in the Global City This is
not a comprehensive theology of worship, writes Carson. Still less
is it a sociological analysis of current trends or a minister s
manual chockfull of how to instructions. Rather, this book offers
pastors, other congregational leaders, and seminary students a
thought-provoking biblical theology of worship, followed by a look
at how three very different traditions of churchmanship might move
from this theological base to a better understanding of corporate
worship. Running the gamut from biblical theology to historical
assessment all the way to sample service sheets, Worship by the
Book shows how local churches in diverse traditions can foster
corporate worship that is God-honoring, Word-revering, heartfelt,
and historically and culturally informed."
