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.
