David Peterson is my Hero

I've listened to all the podcasts on worship on the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary website - well, all the ones that were decent. I'm not very far into becoming an expert on the topic from a literature sense, but I was lucky enough to strike gold on the third 'Theology of Worship' book that I read.

Engaging with God by David Peterson is simply amazing. Its theologically deep and scripturally based - wading through the normal rhetoric of the worship wars as a gem.

To be honest - I can't give a better review than what others have posted on Amazon.

Its not light reading - I will admit. But the centrality of the gospel flows like a river through the text - taking the reader on a ride that shows that the modern American idea of what worship really means is so much smaller than the God to which we sing.
