Discussions of worship often have a polarizing effect, doing little more than firming the impasse between the sides of "traditional" and "contemporary." Because meaningful discussion has become increasingly difficult, a book about worship that returns to the basics will prove useful to the body of Christ. This book avoids the rhetoric from either side, confining strictly to what is said in Scripture; the application of the scriptural principles in worship is left to the reader. It is an effort to go beyond the categorizations of "traditional" and "contemporary" worship to explore what is "biblical." In doing so, important illustrations of worship in the Scriptures are discussed, from the foundational requirements of true worship to the distinctiveness of its expression. This book includes the basis, requirements, marks, and content of true worship. Each chapter contains questions, which makes this an ideal study for Sunday School, small group, or personal devotions.
