Biblical Worship

Theology for God's Glory

A biblical theology of worship spanning both the Old and New Testaments While many books on worship focus on contemporary trends, Biblical Worship plumbs every book of the Bible to uncover its teaching on worship and then applies these insights to our lives and churches today. A team of respected evangelical scholars unearths insights into a variety of issues surrounding worship, including: • The Old Testament concept of worship • Worship before the Exodus • Worship in the Old Testament feasts and celebrations • Worship in the Psalms of Lament and Thanksgiving • The New Testament concept of worship • Worship in the Gospels • Worship in Acts • Worship in the Pastoral Epistles, and much more. Pastors, worship leaders, instructors, and anyone who wants to grow in their knowledge of the Bible's full teaching on worship and how it applies today will benefit from this volume, part of the Biblical Theology for the Church series.

Here, worship followed the Jewish practices but with an expanded canon of sacred texts as the various New Testament documents were increasingly being treated as on a par with the Hebrew Scriptures.26 The question still remains: What ...

The Serious Business of Worship

Essays in Honour of Bryan D. Spinks

The study of liturgy has received criticism from scholars and practitioners alike: the academic discipline of liturgiology has been compared to the hobby of stamp collection, and proponents for liturgical renewal argue that worship must be made more accessible and relevant. Bryan Spinks has been an important moderating voice in this discussion, reminding both academic and ecclesial communities that Christ is made known in the liturgical riches of the past as well as in contemporary forms of the present. Inspired by Spinks' work, this volume brings together biblical, historical, and theological scholars to discuss the theme of continuity and change in worship. Its historical range begins with the early church, extends through the Reformation, and concludes with a discussion of issues facing contemporary liturgical reform. In recognition of the fact that Professor Spinks' work has been widely influential in both Europe and the United States, the editors have solicited liturgical perspectives from scholars with international reputations on sides of the Atlantic.

Desiring the Kingdom (Cultural Liturgies)

Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation

Malls, stadiums, and universities are actually liturgical structures that influence and shape our thoughts and affections. Humans--as Augustine noted--are "desiring agents," full of longings and passions; in brief, we are what we love. James K. A. Smith focuses on the themes of liturgy and desire in Desiring the Kingdom, the first book in what will be a three-volume set on the theology of culture. He redirects our yearnings to focus on the greatest good: God. Ultimately, Smith seeks to re-vision education through the process and practice of worship. Students of philosophy, theology, worldview, and culture will welcome Desiring the Kingdom, as will those involved in ministry and other interested readers.

This is an important book and one whose audience should be much broader than the merely scholarly.
