A reexamination of the actual practice of worship that goes beyond the merely academic to provide a practical perspective through the eyes of the worship leader and the congregation.
The most effective approach to worship is one that blends historical and traditional practices with contemporary elements.

- The biblical foundation of worship–found in the Old and New Testaments as well as the early Christian movement.
- The biblical theology of worship–how worship is an enactment of the Gospel.
- A brief history of worship–from ancient and medieval, to twentieth-century renewal.
- An overview of how worship is practiced–from content and structure, to the role of music and art.
New information is incorporated into each section to give you a better grasp of the biblical themes of worship, a deeper understanding of Old Testament customs, and a solid grounding in modern-day renewal movements.
