Summary: Jonathan R Wilson discusses how worship is work, witness, and warfare; how it grounds us in the good and the true and the beautiful; and how it teaches and shapes us in the language of faith. He then fleshes out his vision for the church by looking in depth at three practices-baptism, communion, and foot-washing. Wilson further explores how confession and the formative power of prayer and suffering shape the body of Christ.
