Worship Education

“Sturdy worship is deepened by knowledge about worship…Worship is so powerful partly because we do it with our entire being. Our first responses to worship tend to be somewhat visceral; our ‘gut’ guides our engagement. When that visceral response is partly shaped by an awareness of the biblical foundations of worship, its historical unfolding, the purposes of the various parts of the liturgy and the complementary ways in which different generations and varying temperaments enter into worship, that response will tend to be less reactive and hold a greater capacity for integrating one’s personal response within a corporate response.”
