Review:

"The author cuts back through the undergrowth of our inherited traditions to the clarity and straightforwardness of the biblical teaching. . . . Despite the scholarship behind it, all this is done with a beautiful simplicity and clarity that makes the book readily available to a wide circle of readers."--I. Howard Marshall

"Peterson has researched 160 books in preparation for this project, which speaks to his thoroughness. My guess is that he found every instance of worship in the Bible. Recommend this book to your pastor, worship leaders, and Bible teachers; but warn them that it is deep reading. Each chapter concludes with a summary in laymen's terminology, which helps make it more readable."--Cindy Grabill, Church Libraries, Summer 2010

Another first-rate example of Peterson's careful exegesis and gospel-centered hermeneutic.--Alex S. Leung, six steps, January 19, 2008
