Do our physical bodies really matter in corporate worship? Isn't
our soul the most important part of us? Aren't our bodies, at best,
negligible to worship and, at worst, a hindrance? The answer to
this last question is categorically no, as Christians have attested
throughout history and across the global church. The purpose of the
body instead is to offer to God in worship what only it can
offer--and what must be offered to God. By drawing on the wisdom of
the Bible, church history, and theology, and by taking advantage of
the unique insights of the arts and sciences, ethics, and spiritual
formation, a respected theologian and pastor argues in this book
that there is something for our physical bodies to do that
decisively forms Christlikeness in us within the context of
corporate worship. What we do with our postures, gestures, and
movements in worship matter. How our senses of sight, scent, sound,
taste, and touch are involved in worship matter. How our
spontaneous and prescriptive activities form us in worship matter.
All of it matters to faithful and fulsome worship for the sake of a
body that is fully alive in the praise of God.
