Description : “Reformed Christians,” write D. G. Hart and John R. Muether, “are increasingly divided over how they ought to worship their God.” Considering it an urgent matter “to recover a biblical view of worship,” the authors have written With Reverence and Awe. Drawing on Scripture and Reformed confessions and catechisms, the authors answer such questions as: When are we to worship? How do we worship with reverence

Conclusion: Discernment in Worship
“A work of great importance...After several generations of books and essays on worship that seemed completely uninformed on the central concerns of our tradition, we are at last beginning to hear from Reformed scholars who know something about the subject."
—Hughes Oliphant Old
“The first comprehensive answer to the challenge of contemporary worship. The authors’ clear and forceful presentation will help ministers, elders, worship committees, and others understand the distinctives of Reformed worship and why they are worth preserving."
—Rev. Terry L. Johnson
