    Christians today have lots of different opinions about what "worship" should look like. Some think it should be all preaching, others think it should be 'entertaining', still others think it's all about the music. But what does the Bible say about worship? And why do Catholics do what they do at Mass? Why all the standing, sitting, kneeling, and repetition? Where does it all come from?

    In this important series, Dr. Brant Pitre takes you on a scriptural tour of topics such as:

    The Shape of Worship: Who determines how we worship? God or us?
    The Meaning of Sacrifice: Why did God demand animal sacrifice in the Old Testament? What was the meaning of blood sacrifice? Does it play any role in Christian worship today?
    The Tabernacle of Moses: What did worship look like in the Old Testament? How does it parallel the Mass today?
    The Book of Revelation: What does worship look like in Heaven? How does Revelation reveal the Mass?
    The Jewish Passover: What was Passover worship like at the time of Jesus? Why was it so important, and how does it parallel Catholic worship today?
    The Last Supper and the Death of Christ: Why did Jesus choose to die during the Passover? How did his death fulfill the Jewish sacrifices in the Temple?
    The Biblical Roots of the Mass: How does the Bible unlock the mysteries behind the words and actions in the Mass?

    Many Catholics know what to do at Mass, but not why we do it. And many non-Catholics are confused by the rituals and words of the Mass. Some even think that most of the Mass is just 'made up'--a tradition of men. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you've ever wondered about whether or not the Mass is biblical, then look no further: Why We Worship is the perfect resource for parishes, RCIA programs, Bible studies--for anyone who wants to understand the Bible really says about the mystery and meaning of worship.

Further Study Details & FAQ

A closer look at the biblical texts and sources behind this study, for those who want more detail before purchasing.

Key passages & sources examined: Key passages & sources examined: the covenant at Sinai and the Tabernacle of Moses (Exodus 24–25); the sacrifices of Abel, Melchizedek, and Abraham (Genesis 4, 14, 22); the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16); Malachi's prophecy of a 'pure offering' among the nations (Malachi 1:11); the heavenly worship of Revelation 4–5; and Christ as 'our paschal lamb' (1 Corinthians 5:7).

Does this study assume I already know the parts of the Mass?

No. It walks through the Mass in order — from the Sign of the Cross to the dismissal — connecting each word and gesture to its Old and New Testament roots, so it works for lifelong Catholics and newcomers alike.

Is this a devotional or a scholarly study?

Both. Dr. Pitre keeps the tone accessible while grounding every point in Scripture, the Catechism, and early Church sources like St. Justin Martyr. A printable outline and audio excerpt are available on this page.

Who is it best suited for?

Parishes, RCIA and OCIA groups, and Bible studies, as well as individuals wondering whether the Mass is really biblical. Runtime is about 4 hours 42 minutes across six sessions.
