Christianity Today Book Award Winner One of Worship Leader Magazine's Editor's Picks Current discussions about worship are often driven by pragmatics and personal preferences rather than by the teaching of Scripture. True worship, however, is our response to God's gracious revelation; in order to be acceptable to God, worship must be experienced on God's terms. Respected Old Testament scholar Daniel Block examines worship in the Bible, offering a comprehensive biblical foundation and illuminating Old Testament worship practices and principles. He develops a theology of worship that is consistent with the teachings of Scripture and is applicable for the church today. He also introduces readers to a wide range of issues related to worship. The book, illustrated with diagrams, charts, and pictures, will benefit professors and students in worship and Bible courses, pastors, and church leaders.

Pastors and lay leaders of worship will welcome this fresh, new source of practical assistance.
Michael A. Rogers: ""It is refreshing to see biblical theology so thoroughly integrated with practical directives for developing the worship service."" (Eternity) Clifford E. Bajema: "" Out of Rayburn's rich experience as a teacher and as a preacher who has served five pastorates, he gives us a book which should further liturgical interest and discussion on Reformed circles... All in all Rayburn's book is very much worth reading."" (Calvin Theological Journal) William F. Hunter: ""Will hopefully stimulate evangelicals to explore a relatively unknown aspect to the corporate life of believers."" (Journal of Psychology and Theology) Donald Macleod: ""A very ambitious survey...it is a very comprehensive treatment of the worship responsibilities of the everyday parish ministry.""

(It) should serve as a guide to more meaningful corporate worship."" (Seminary Review) R. O. Zorn: ""A useful volume which will make ministers and their congregations more conscious of the nature and significance of public worship."" (Vox Reformata) Laurence H. Stookey: ""Those evangelicals who conduct worship services which are casual and uncoordinated and who shun the riches of catholic prayer and hymnody are presented with a thoughtful challenge by a writer with impeccable evangelical credentials.""
