Gerald Borchert provides a unique survey of the New Testament by centering on its understanding, teaching, language, and reflections of worship. He seeks to show how worship language and action lie behind much of the New Testament and how the modern church can gain a new power in worship through renewed reflection on the New Testament.

Gerald Borchert is thesis director at the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies, Jacksonville, Florida, and senior professor of New Testament at Carson Newman College, Jefferson City, Tennessee.
