A Body of Praise Understanding the Role of Our Physical Bodies in Worship W. David O. Taylor Theologian and pastor David Taylor argues that there is something for our physical bodies to do that decisively forms Christlikeness in us within the context of worship. “An excellent, nuanced, and well-timed study. As we wrestle with the long-term impact of the pandemic on our worship practices, this work is an indispens - able resource.” —ROWAN WILLIAMS, former Archbishop of Canterbury “The role of the human body in Christian worship has been neglected for too long but is now significantly enriched by Taylor’s work. His writing displays a lifetime of scholarship and reflection, now brought together in mature form for the benefit of worshiping communities everywhere.” —CONSTANCE M. CHERRY, Indiana Wesleyan University (emeritus); The Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies
