Is 9/11 a Call to Heal America?: The Wonderful World of Worship on Bended Knee

The primary focus of this book is to determine if the Greek word for ""worship"" (proskuneo), used in John 4: 23-24, includes the concept of ""bowing the knees"" or ""kneeling."" In the New Testament, proskuneo is translated as ""worship"" sixty times. All of the ""worship"" events in the New Testament that included a form of bowing the knees or kneeling has been documented. This task was undertaken using five reliable sources of information or testimony: (1) the testimony of God, or Scripture (1Corinthians 2:1), (2) the testimony of Lexicons or Greek dictionaries, (3) the testimony of Bible translators, (4) the testimony of history, and (5) the testimony of Bible scholars. The book was written with all categories of readers in mind: worship leaders, clergy, college professors, Seminary students, Bible scholars, teachers, graduate school students, Pastors, lay people, seekers, and is suitable as a textbook in all Bible classes that include the subject of ""worship"".
