Endorsements: "Liturgical Presbyterians? No, this is not an
oxymoron. D. G. Hart has written a lively polemic against the
well-intentioned dumbing-down of worship by advocates of church
growth. This book is going to make some people very mad, and it
will make others very glad. Those who have thrown away the
theological substance of the great Reformed tradition of Christian
worship ought to be mad. Hart shames them. And yet, for those whose
privilege it is to praise and serve God in a church that enjoys the
Reformed way of worship in all its depth, glory, and joy, this book
is a great summons to faithfulness in our time." --WILLIAM H.
WILLIMON, Duke Divinity School "Beginning to realize just how much
they have been shaped by non-Reformed influences, conservative
Presbyterian and Reformed churches are now being forced to decide
between a generic 'low-church' Protestantism, a 'high church'
tradition, or, oddly enough, a more traditional Reformed and
Presbyterian approach. D. G. Hart believes that Reformed theology
provides resources not only for understanding that we are saved,
but also for how we worship and mature in the Christian faith.
There's a lot of wisdom here, and whether one agrees or disagrees
with Hart, his well-considered arguments cannot be responsibly
ignored by adherents of Reformed Christianity." --MICHAEL HORTON,
Editor in Chief, Modern Reformation "Unabashedly writing to inform,
rouse, and serve his fellow Presbyterians, D. G. Hart has
nonetheless produced a book that is properly and profoundly
ecumenical. Christians from all communions who take seriously the
identity and nature of the church will learn from Hart's analysis
of the complex arrangement under God of cult and culture, form and
content, church and state, praise and proclamation, cross and
crown. Hart reminds us that the chronicles of the people of God
always offer encouragement to strengthen feeble arms, weak knees,
and lazy minds." --KEN MYERS, host and producer of the Mars Hill
Audio Journal "Hart's book combines world-class scholarship with
keen social and ecclesiastical awareness and should be read and
reread by those who want to transmit the piety and ethos of the
Reformed tradition to the next generation." --TERRY L. JOHNSON,
Independent Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Georgia
