This wonderful contribution uncovers the rich history of corporate worship Baptists have inherited, suggests biblical applications to our practices today, and marks a well-worn path for our children to follow in the future. While uniquely helpful to those in worship leadership, anyone interested in understanding how the gospel shapes our practice of worship will benefit from this work. --Matt Boswell, hymn-writer; pastor, The Trails Church; and Assistant Professor of Church Music and Worship, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Scott Connell has given us a wonderful resource on Baptist worship in North America. His in-depth historical research provides great insight to worship practice among Baptists from the seventeenth century to present. Anyone interested in understanding the roots of Baptist worship practice and how this impacts our worship today needs to read this book. --Greg Brewton, Department Chair for Biblical Worship, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary With the precision of a skilled researcher/historian and the heart of a pastor who loves the local church, Scott Connell winsomely and engagingly sounds a clarion call for evangelical churches to embrace two vital (and often overlooked) pillars of corporate worship--the word of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Baptists and Worship will encourage and inspire pastors and worship leaders to design and facilitate meaningful, transformational worship that clearly reflects the beautiful dialogical rhythm of God revealing and his people responding. --Joseph R. Crider, Dean, School of Church Music and Worship, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Dr. Connell is Baptist by conviction, so it's understandable that the culmination of his studied journey and personal devotion would be a monograph that is a synthesis of Baptist liturgical tradition in North America and the theology of worship mined from Isaiah 6 and Christ's transfiguration account in Mark 9. Sitting Beneath the Gospel's Joyful Sound is a must-read for serious students of worship and those charged with developing worship services that form the heart and transform the mind to the image of Christ. --Chuck T. Lewis, Associate Dean and Professor of Church Music and Worship, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
