Welcome to Mortification of Spin, bully pulpit, a a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird.

Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.

This week, Todd, Amy, and Carl reviewed Daniel Block's book for the glory of God, recovering

a biblical theology of worship.

What is true worship, and what are the roles of God's Word, prayer, and music?

Let's join the conversation and find out.

Oh, and keep listening after the podcast to hear how you can enter the drawing for a copy

of Block's book.

Well, welcome to Mortification of Spin, Bullie Pulpit.

And every once in a while, Carl and Amy and I will actually read a book.

And we've come across one that we feel good about.

It's a new book by Daniel Block, who is a biblical scholar,

teaches at Wheaton. It's called for the glory of God, recovering a biblical theology of worship.

And we certainly don't have time to give you some sort of a full orbed review, but we did kind of

want to hit on a few of the,

of what were for us some of the high points and most helpful things within this good book.

Carl or Amy, what are your thoughts, first of all?

I love pretty much anything that Daniel Block writes.

Yes.

I have to say he's not a great theologian in that if you read Daniel Block, you're not going to get a lot of classic theology as such.

But he is a man who has a mastery, it seems to me, of the biblical text, particularly the Old Testament, which is his speciality.

But as this book demonstrates, he's quite adept at moving from the Old to the New Testament.
