Worshipping with Calvin: Recovering the Historic Ministry and Worship of Reformed Protestantism
In this carefully-written and important book, Terry L. Johnson takes note of the revival in Calvinist thinking that is evident across a broad spectrum of the church. However, as he notes, for Calvinism to continue to thrive, attention must begin to be paid to the ministry and worship that alone will sustain and perpetuate it.
The new Calvinism must take seriously the liturgical reforms of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, not just the theological, if today's dynamism is to endure. Calvin would not have approved of the separation of theology from worship. Reformed theology determined Reformed worship; and conversely, Reformed worship was the nurturing womb from which Reformed piety and practice sprang.
