Intro to Christian Worship: The Use of ‘Worship’ in Scripture
[Editor’s Note:Kent Hendricks, a first year M.Div. student at Calvin Theological Seminary and student assistant at CICW, is attending John Witvliet’s seminar class, Introduction to Christian Worship. He will blog periodically about key themes from course lectures, readings, and discussion. For more of Kent’s blogging, see his personal blog.]
We began our quarter together by connecting worship practices with the implicit worldview of local communities. “Worship practices inevitably convey a sense of who God is, what the church is, and what scripture is,” said John Witvliet. “Worship always forms in us a certain way of seeing the world – it forms a certain theology.”
