Biblical Theology of Worship
Lecturing Faculty: Dr. Iain Duguid
Effective for the 2024-2025 Academic Year
Course Description
In this course, students will dive into the topic of worship as the people of the King, living in the presence of the King, living in harmony with the King’s people. Students will be introduced to the topic of worship as it spans across redemptive history, tracing the foundational principles of worship as involving a sacred person, a sacred place, a sacred community, and a sacred time. Students will also explore the various worship practices of God’s people, how these practices have been taken up or rejected during different times and movements, and how they should be evaluated in light of a biblical theology of worship.
