Inward Bow: Worship Such as the Father Seeks

The English word worship is a container into which a great many concepts have been poured that extend far beyond the primary Hebrew and Greek words from which they are translated. As a result, when readers encounter the Lord's statement in John 4-that the Father is seeking such to worship Him who worship in spirit and in truth-the picture can be unclear. Inward Bow brings focus to this foundational idea by returning to the original language of the Bible. It explores what these words were intended to communicate in the cultural settings of the Bible, traces how the English word worship developed in meaning, and offers a clear vision of what it means to worship God-not merely in outward form, but in the surrender of the heart. Jesus is the Christian's perfect example of a life lived to the glory of God. In Him we find the best representation of the kind of worshipper the Father seeks and the reason He seeks them.
