- More about A Body of Praise - Understanding the Role of Our Physical Bodies in Worship
The author argues that our physical bodies matter in corporate worship and that they can offer to God what only they can offer—and what must be offered to God. By drawing on the wisdom of the Bible, church history, theology, the arts and sciences, ethics, and spiritual formation, the author suggests that there is something for our physical bodies to do that forms Christlikeness in us within the context of corporate worship.

The physical body holds significance in corporate worship, contrary to the notion that it is merely a hindrance. In the eyes of Christians, the soul is the most essential aspect of one's being, but the body is not negligible in worship. Instead, it offers to God what only it can: a unique contribution that is necessary for worship.
Drawing from the wisdom of the Bible, church history, theology, and the insights of various disciplines such as the arts, sciences, ethics, and spiritual formation, a respected theologian and pastor makes a compelling argument in this book. They argue that the physical body has a role to play in forming Christlikeness within the context of corporate worship.
The way we posture ourselves, make gestures, and move during worship holds immense importance. The sensory experiences of sight, scent, sound, taste, and touch also play a crucial part in worship. Additionally, the spontaneous and prescriptive activities we engage in during worship shape us in profound ways.
It is essential to approach worship with faithful and fulsome devotion, recognizing that every aspect of our physical presence contributes to the worship of a body that is fully alive in the praise of God. By embracing the significance of the body in worship, we can deepen our connection with God and one another and experience the fullness of worship that God desires for us.
