Worship : Adoration and action, D. A. Carson

 

1. Worship the Lord your God: The Perennial Challenge, D. A. Carson

(P13) worship is serve God, it is the correct start. And the heart of all biblical religion is God-centeredness, it is worship. So many times I missed this means in worship. Every time I need God centeredness worship.

 

2. Theology of Worship in the Old Testament, Yoshiaki Hattory

(p50) Old Testament is different from other cultic religions. The Israelites worshipped a God who was the only God, a personal God who intervened in history(the God of the covenant). And finally there is no image of God. I think history always explain that what God has done for His people.

 

3. Worship in the New Testament, David Peterson

(p52) Worship is describing our engagement with God through faith in Jesus Christ and What he has done for us. (p90) Jesus has inaugurated the new covenant, with its promise of a renewed relationship with God. So I need to seek that Who is Jesus at the every chapter in bible. And God has done for me.

 

4. The Reformed Liturgy in the Dutch Tradition, Klaas Runia

(p96) New testament and Paul emphasis on the broader concept of worship. Also Calvin, Heidelberg Catechism and Abraham Kuyper are emphasis on sanctification with that broad conception. That concept is ‘all of life is worship’. I think that ‘all of life is worship’ mind help me close to Jesus.

 

5. Presbyterian Worship, Edmund P. Clowney

(p 111) Presbyterian worship is for Soli Deo Gloria, God’s sake, not our sake. (p118)And It is  reflection of the covenant theology of Scripture. Also it required discipline in the Church. (p 120) And final character has been the place given to the care of the poor.

 

6. Worship in Anglicanism, Roger Beckwith

(p 123) The outstanding characteristic of Anglicanism is its tradition of congregational worship. What is the congregational worship? Why Anglican church stressed it? And why the prayer book was so important?

 

7. Worship in Lutheranism, Norvald Yri

(p 128) The highest worship of God is to believe in Christ. The entire Christian life from the theology of the cross. To believe Christ Jesus!! Cor meum tibi offero Domine sinecere et prompt!!

 

8. 'Free church' worship in Britain, Peter Levis

(p 157)Free church worship has a characteristic of underscore at the preaching as the climax of worship. (p 147) This church roots in the Reformation and Puritan movements and 18^th century revival.

 

9. Some Reflections on the Meaning and Practice of Worship from Inside South America, Pelicity B. Houghton

(p 168)There are some difference worship in south America. And the difference is significant because God seek not only individual worshipper but also a community worshipper.

 

10. Worship in the independent/ Free church/ Congregational Tradition: A view from the Two-Thirds World, Guillermo Mendez.

(p 170) The main thesis is that Catholic religion Christianized Latin America in a way that failed to teach the full relation between faith and life.
