Endorsements

  • This book presents a defense of the regulative principle. The authors defend its solidly and thoroughly biblical character and give a history of its defense in the context of Reformed biblical exegesis and historic confessions.

  • I commend the reading of this book to students, pastors, and the people in the pew to restore biblical worship to that which is commanded by God instead of invented by man’s desires. After all, the best worship of God must be formed by His own commands concerning His worship.

Description

God cares how we worship Him, so we should care too! This book offers a clear defense of the regulative principle of worship, arguing that Scripture itself sets the boundaries for how God is to be worshiped in the church. It begins with a straightforward overview of Christian worship before explaining the regulative principle as the biblical guide that shapes and governs what the church does when it gathers. The book then turns to understanding and applying the principles of accommodation and Christian liberty.

The authors build their case from careful work in Scripture and then trace how this understanding of worship has been taught and defended throughout the Reformed tradition and in historic confessions. Particular attention is given to Baptist writers and pastors, showing how this conviction has been understood and worked out in Baptist church life.

The result is a focused, accessible study that connects biblical teaching with the history of the church and the practical question of how God’s people should worship today.
