Publisher's summary

Drawing upon his experience in teaching this material over the past twenty-five years in forty countries, Ron Man provides a rich and deep examination of biblical worship, drawing principles out of a rigorous study of the text of Scripture. He also writes as a practitioner, from the perspective of one who served as a church worship pastor for twenty-two years. Features distinguishing this book from other similar studies include: 1) a tracing of the foundational Revelation and Response pattern through the Scriptures; 2) a more thorough treatment of New Testament texts than is often found; 3) a comprehensive treatment of the crucial role of Jesus Christ as the true Leader of our worship; 4) a consideration of worship as it relates to world missions; and 5) a concluding summary of twelve “Biblical Principles of Worship,” synthesizing the results of the study.

Critic reviews

“Clear, thorough, practical, accessible, and brimming with Bible, I have never seen so many of the foundational biblical concepts about worship gathered into one place. All this can only come together over a lifetime of teaching, reflection, and most importantly: worshipping. Ron Man has offered a tremendous gift to the church!”

—Zac Hicks, author of The Worship Pastor

“Ron Man provides a fresh, systematic, thorough, and distinctive survey of biblical teaching about worship, especially with reference to its congregational expression. He writes as one who is passionate for the glory of God and offers practical advice to those responsible for leading God’s people in this vital pursuit.”

—David G. Peterson, author of Engaging with God

“Drawing upon relevant Scripture texts and a broad body of thought by noted scholars, Ron Man presents a comprehensive biblical foundation of worship for the Protestant church. While written from a distinctly Reformed point of view, this book crosses denominational boundaries well, as true foundations of worship transcend ecclesial differences. This book is a fine resource not just for clergy and lay worship leaders but for every Christian worshiper.”

—Constance M. Cherry, author of The Worship Architect
