How Majestic Is Your Name

Hardcover |English |1498287204 | 9781498287203
Overview

Christians give a broad spectrum of answers to the question, ""What is worship?"" These include ascribing worth to God, performing certain activities during worship services, singing a particular style of song, responding to God with our whole being, and more. That Christians have such a splintered understanding of something as important as worship is far from satisfactory. How Majestic is Your Name aims to broaden our understanding of worship by engaging the subject biblically and theologically as developed in both Testaments of Scripture. As we learn more of God's design, our daily, weekly, and seasonal practices of private and public worship will be renewed. Foundations are laid by identifying the Old and New Testament words for worship and demonstrating their importance. The object of worship is brought into focus as we encounter the God who is experienced as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The object identified, we consider the people who worship within space and time by engaging in a variety of activities. Not content with simply recounting biblical evidence about the worship of Israel and the early church, the book challenges modern worshipers to allow this biblical theological study to guide their thinking and shape their practice.

Editorial Reviews

""How do we worship God? It seems common sense that we listen as God tells us what pleases him. How Majestic Is Your Name helps us listen as McConnell presents a topical survey of biblical teaching on worship. This book is well structured, comprehensive in its contents, and contemporary in its applications. Anyone teaching on worship or leading services will gain from this book. Likewise for believers who are serious about treating God as God."" --David Burke, Christ College, Sydney ""'The Bible sees worship as the beginning and the end of mission, ' asserts McConnell. But what is worship? Driven by a deep commitment to learn what the living God desires of his worshipers, McConnell looks carefully at both Testaments and provides rich theological reflections. McConnell presents the contemporary church with a reliable and inspiring guide as to what Scripture teaches about the width and depth of biblical worship."" --Michael Widmer, Hokkaido Bible Institute ""This is a much-awaited, highly recommended book for pastors, seminary students, worship leaders, and all who seek biblical and theological studies on the worship of God, as well as its practical implications and contemporary applications in individual and corporate worship life."" --Myrleene Grace Yap, Singapore Bible College ""How Majestic Is Your Name is a rich, expansive, and profoundly biblical book on true worship as service, reverential fear, and bowing down to our God. It reminds us that worship is not a forty-five-minute event each week but a twenty-four-hour-a-day awareness of the presence of God in everything we do. The church has been waiting for this book for a very long time."" --Michael Card, singer-songwriter and author ""Carefully written and biblically thorough, How Majestic Is Your Name will prove to be a valuable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive biblical theology of this vital but easily misunderstood theme."" --Alan Wilson, Irish Bible Institute ""Walter McConnell has written a wonderful and much-needed theology of worship. . . . Readers will learn new things about worship and be challenged to bring their own patterns of worship into greater conformity with biblical models. How Majestic Is Your Name would make an excellent textbook. Passionate, competent, and clearly written, here is a book that will have lasting impact."" --Timothy Wiarda, Gateway Seminary ""Walters's book is a timely reminder of the richness and depth of God's understanding of worship. There is nothing shallow or 'me-centered' in this book. We swim in the depths of biblical teaching and experiences. . . . I honestly believe that as we read, new doors of understanding will be opened. We will worship the Lord more wholeheartedly. We will serve him more obediently. We will love him more passionately. Thank you, Walter, for this great book!"" --Ken (Fanta) Clarke, Bishop, Church of Ireland ""How Majestic Is Your Name invites readers to know the triune God whom we worship and proclaim. Such a theological disposition is evidence of the God-centered commitment of the author that has been crystallized after years of ministry as a church planter, theological educator, and director of international mission research. . . . I highly recommend this book because McConnell ushers us into worship that is Trinitarian, scriptural, and pastoral."" --Budianto Lim, Reformed Theological Seminary, Indonesia
