PD331 Wealth and Stewardship in the Bible (A Practical Guide)
In Worship that Pleases God (PD207) Daniel I. Block focuses on what the Bible says about worship. Dr. Block begins by looking at the words used for worship in Scripture, the fear of the Lord, and a definition of worship. From there, he explores whose worship is acceptable to God and God’s expectations for corporate worship. Dr. Block examines both New Testament and First Testament Scriptures related to these subjects with the goal of showing the constancy of elements of worship that please God. The course concludes with practical suggestions for cultivating authentic biblical worship in church.

Dr. Daniel Block, professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College, has been teaching God’s Word for more than 30 years.
It has been a special joy for Dr. Block to watch students, who often take introductory courses in Old Testament only because they are required to do so by the curriculum, suddenly awaken to the fact that the Old Testament is understandable and its message is both life-giving and relevant for modern, everyday life.
Dr. Block has published a number of books and essays in scholarly journals. The paradigm for his research and ministry is set by Ezra, as described in Ezra 7:10: he committed himself to the study the Torah of Yahweh, to put it into practice, and to teach his revealed will in Israel. This means constantly asking serious questions of the Scriptures: What does the text say? Why does the text say it like that? What did the text mean to the original audience? What does the text have to say to me today? In order to answer these questions, one needs to understand both the worlds out of which the biblical texts arose and the worlds in which modern people live.
