By Malcolm H. Watts and David Silversides

Worship is the human response to God’s revelation of himself to us. But how are we to respond? How can we know that our worship is in ‘spirit and truth’? What is the nature of pure worship? What does the ‘regulative principle mean, and how does it affect our worship? Has God clearly taught us how we should worship? How did the Puritans conduct public worship? What is God’s will in preaching, reading his word, singing his praise? What about ‘open worship’, or instrumental music, drama or dance? All of these questions, and many more, are dealt with in a refreshingly biblical manner by the authors of this book. In a day when much of what is called worship falls miserably to reflect the mind and will of God, Christians reading this little book will be challenged to take a serious look at these issues as they promote the honour and glory of God in their worship. These addresses were given at the First Salisbury Conference in 1997.
