About the Book

What language is most appropriate for worship? Should it lean toward the colloquial, perhaps targeting those attending a worship service for the first time? Or should it be a language with deeper roots, the language of a community that, for the most part, already loves the God to whom worship is offered? Ronald Byars argues that the communal sp



Review :
Leanne Van Dyk
-- Western Theological Seminary
"Christian worship soaked in the deep wells of Scripture can flow out to nourish believers in faith and life. Ron Byars's book shows us how this is done and what difference it makes. This important contribution in the retrieval of Christian worship is also an indispensable encouragement for pastors and worship leaders and all who wish to understand the drama of worship embedded in the Bible."

Art Ross
-- White Memorial Presbyterian Church, Raleigh, North Carolina
"What Language Shall I Borrow? reminds me of Paul Tillich's insight that all faith language is symbolic: until we discover the affirmations of faith that lie behind specific words, we miss much of the power of language. In other words, the language of worship is always 'borrowed language.' Ron Byars's careful work with the language of the Presbyterian Book of Common Worship takes readers behind the actual words used in worship into the gospel affirmations of those words. His book will be a valuable resource to students and leaders of worship who seek to build bridges between ancient words that communicate faith and the ever-present contemporary yearning to be grasped by those words."

Religious Studies Review
"Attractive for personal enrichment or congregation-based teaching."

Calvin Theological Journal
"This is an excellent work on liturgy and the language of worship. Byars' emphases and examples, as well as the pastoral tone of the work, will make your perusal eminently worthwhile. May it be read and followed in churches high and low."

Expository Times
"Student ministers, ordinands or trainee lay preachers of any denomination will find this an invaluable checklist for the understanding of the biblical basis of liturgy."

Interpretation
"Ronald Byars brings his liturgical expertise, breadth of biblical knowledge, and keen pastoral sensitivity to exploring a crucial issue. . . . Clear and compelling."
