Product DescriptionJames Montgomery Boice had a passion for worship. His life and ministry reflected his desire to honor God in the form and content of worship. Here 18 contributors, including Hughes Oliphant Old, Edmund P. Clowney, W. Robert Godfrey, and Michael S. Horton, advance Dr. Boice’s vision for Reformed worship. They examine the biblical foundations for worship, the elements of corporate worship, worship in the home and in all of life, and worship throughout the ages.
Philip Ryken writes in the introduction, 'This book is for everyone who loves to worship God. Our hope is that it will help ministers who lead their congregations in worship, musicians who seek a deeper understanding of the spiritual purpose of their work, seminary students who are clarifying their commitment to biblical worship, and everyone else who sincerely desires to give praise to God.'
