How Then Shall We Worship

by R.C. Sproul

My Rating: 4 stars out of 5

Dr. R.C. Sproul is one of today’s preeminent theologians. For more than fifty years his solid, practical messages have impacted and inspired generations of believers. The “Classic Theology Series” continues Dr. Sproul’s legacy.

How Then Shall We Worship? is a landmark look at God’s design for authentic worship. Today’s church cannot seem to agree on what corporate worship should look like. Some choose contemporary forms, others prefer traditional expressions. Yet pop culture or the status quo do not hold the answers. God’s Word does. Dr. Sproul digs deep into rich Scripture passages to provide a guide for worship today.

Readers will discover that God intends worship to be an unforgettable encounter between Himself and His people—a joyous experience engaging the worshiper’s entire being.

R.C. Sproul set out on a journey to tackle a very controversial issue in the church today.  He addresses various forms of worship in this book (communion, baptism, etc.).  He did a great job of tackling big issues and pulling the Bible verses that address each topic and making them reachable for the average reader.  He even address the issue of baptism from both perspectives, which was nice...especially being someone who disagrees with his stance on baptism.  Reading through this book, I sadly was made aware of so many areas of worship in the church today that aren't being doing the way God intended them to be done, which is very sad.  This book would be a great read for pastors, worship leaders, and the average Christian.  Anybody will be able to glean things from this book that will be important to their understanding of true worship.  At the end of the book, there was even a study guide that would be great for a small group study.  The only complaint I have is that I would have liked some of the aspects of worship to have been discussed a little more in depth.  But overall, this was a very concise and to the point book.  I highly recommend it to everyone!
