Synopsis

Reformed Worship: Worship That Is According to Scripture is a clear and cogent biblical case for worshiping the Triune God. A primary focus of the book is as an initial primer on Scripture's teaching on worship. Yet, it is by no means only "introductory." Terry Johnson opens with a section on "Getting Oriented"--diving into such pressing questions as what is public vs. private worship, how do they relate?; what do we mean by worship, is it in the broad everyday sense, or is it more particular and focused?; and what is permissible vs. what is proper in worship? The heart of the book is Johnson's exposition of what it means to worship "in spirit" and "in truth." "In truth" pertains to worship that is according to Scripture and worship that is actually and really filled with Scripture. To worship "in spirit" is be participate in worship from the heart, which is affectionate, simple, reverent, and biblically wise. Johnson closes with great suggestions for further reading and study. Johnson's understanding of worship presents itself as a product of exegesis and not merely a proof-texting of presuppositions. His explanation of the biblical passages and ideas that pertain to worship are excellent, easy to understand, and very pastoral. The audience for this books is everyone from the pastor who really wants to understand what biblical worship looks like, to the congregant who wants to properly worship God, to the believer in Christ who wants good guidance on communing with his Savior, and for the family who desires to truly and reverently participate in family worship.
