Endorsements
“Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us that God seeks true worshipers, those who worship him in spirit and truth (Jn. 4:23). But what does that mean? In this collection of essays, experienced pastors and theologians lead us in ‘the old paths,’ the ‘good way’ of God’s Word (Jer. 6:16), that unveils the beauty of glorifying our worthy Triune God in all of our worship.”
—Joel R. Beeke | Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
“In a time when many Christians are wanting something more biblical and historic than the rather chaotic approaches to worship which have characterized much of the last 50 years, the Reformation Worship Conference is a godsend—an opportunity both to reflect on what Christian worship really is and to take part in worship services which embody it.”
—Carl R. Trueman | Grove City College
“For the magisterial Reformers, the Reformation was supremely about the recovery of the true worship of God. Should it not be for us, as well? Getting worship ‘right’ was for Calvin the first need of Christ’s flock. We are saved to worship God, now and eternally, with our present public worship being a foretaste of the heavenly worship that awaits us.”
—Ian Hamilton (from the Foreword)
