True Worship: Traditional, Contemporary, Biblical

by David Whitcomb

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.
True Worship is an effort to go beyond the categorizations of "traditional" and "contemporary" to explore what is truly "biblical" worship. In so doing, important illustrations of worship in the Scriptures are discussed, from the foundational requirements of true worship to the distinctiveness of its expression.
Questions at the end of each chapter make this book ideal for Sunday School, small group, and personal devotional study.

Very good, thorough, extensive treatment of the subject of worship - what it is, how it should be done, and much more. This book is not narrow nor is it a fault-finding book. Each of the 27 chapters has a Biblical character examined in the light of worship. I did get bogged down in the middle as the chapters were longer and harder to get through. Very much worth the reader's time even though it has to be read in short snatches.

A very good survey of principles concerning worship throughout Scripture. One of the best books on worship I have ready, though I think the authors leave too much to the reader to discern for themselves based on the principles the lay out.
