SynopsisIn this classic work, Dr. Robert Johnston outlines the progress of Presbyterian liturgy from the time of John Knox up to the dawn of the twentieth century. Johnston not only describes the accepted practices of worship but also explains the rational. Though all practice must follow the guidance of Scripture, he stresses, progress and circumstance may make certain modifications desirable. Those modifications must, however, "be in harmony with the spirit of Revelation."Dr. Johnston brings to his task ripe scholarship, including extensive knowledge of Church history and ecclesiology, his proficiency in which he has recently vindicated in such a manner as to leave no room for doubt. To this he adds the teaching of pastoral experience in mission fields, prior to his ordination, and, since then, in large and influential congregations; and, to crown the whole, heartfelt devotion to the Church of his fathers, and unswerving personal loyalty to its King and Head. -- from the Introduction by John Campbell
