What others are saying:
"The book is very well argued and easy to read. . . . I think it addresses a central issue in Christian worship, with its focus on the work of the ascended Christ amongst his people when they gather."
—David Peterson, Moore Theological College, Sydney, Australia; author of Engaging with God: A Biblical Theology of Worship
"Ron Man is an able guide into the undiscovered country of one of the
most electric, encouraging, and important passages on worship. This
book is beautifully written, thoroughly researched and deeply drawn
from Scripture and the theologians of the Church. Proclamation and
Praise sets worship in its eternal context of being the work of the
ascended Christ. Man not only uncovers the common ground amongst
proponents of various styles of worship, he takes us further into the
heart of worship than many have ever been. This is theology that sings!" —Gerrit S. Dawson, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church (Baton Rouge); author of Jesus Ascended: The Meaning of Christ’s Continuing Incarnation
"Man has written a compelling account of an undervalued part of Jesus’s
story: that he rose from the dead to carry on the Father’s program of
redemption among us. Astutely exegeting Hebrews 2:12, Ron Man makes a
case for a revolutionary view of the church—Jesus is the chief Preacher
and Leader of Praise."
—Reggie Kidd, Professor of New Testament,
Reformed Theological Seminary (Orlando); Pastor of Worship, Orangewood
Presbyterian Church (Maitland FL); author of With One Voice: Discovering Christ’s Song in Our Worship
"Insightful, biblical, theologically astute, and well-communicated, Ron Man’s
presentation is a long overdue treatment of the Hebrews 2 passage. This
is a wonderful reminder that Jesus Christ himself is central to our
worship. Using evidence gathered from the pages of scripture, the
events of history, and the witness of the Church, Man articulates with
skill and conviction the truth about Christ being our worship leader."
—Vernon M. Whaley, Director, Center for Worship, Liberty University; author of The Dynamics of Corporate Worship
"I don’t understand it, but I think it’s wonderful anyway!"
—Ron’s mother
