Worship has always been affected by its surrounding culture. This
book examines the changing perspectives in and discussions on
worship styles and practices from the Restoration to the death of
Wesley, in England and Scotland. Moving beyond the text, Spinks
grounds the discussion within the changing cultural and
intellectual framework of the period referred to as the
Enlightenment. The focus is the end of the early modern period,
when already the upheaval of the English Civil War, the methods of
the Cambridge Platonists, and the thinking of Descartes and Spinoza
were making the period one of transition, and Newtonian thought and
the thought of John Locke impacted theological thought and worship
forms. It is against this framework that the worship in England and
Scotland will be described and assessed. As well as published and
unpublished liturgical documents, this book draws on contemporary
accounts and descriptions of worship, catechisms, sermons and
theological works, and contemporary diaries. Musical and
architectural changes are also noted, particularly the late
seventeenth century hymns of Richard Davies of Rothwell, Joseph
Stennett and Benjamin Keach. This book places worship in the
society which it served, and from which changes sprang. It explores
the interaction of cultural thought and worship, drawing parallels
between the Enlightenment period and problems of late modernity and
the worship wars of the late twentieth century.
This book surveys developments in sacramental and liturgical
discourse and discord, exploring the writings of English and
Scottish divines, and focusing on baptism and the Lord's Supper.
The reigns of James I and Charles I coincided with divergence and
development in teaching on the sacraments in England and Scotland
and with growing discord on liturgical texts and the ceremonial.
Uniquely focusing on both nations in a single study, Bryan Spinks
draws on theological treatises, sermons, catechisms, liturgical
texts and writings by Scottish theologians hitherto neglected.
Exploring the European roots of the churches of England and
Scotland and how they became entwined in developments culminating
in the Solemn League and Covenant and Westminster Directory, this
book presents an authoritative study of sacramental and liturgical
debate, developments, and experiments during the Stuart period.
Presenting a comprehensive survey of the historical underpinnings
of baptismal liturgies and theologies, Bryan Spinks presents an
ecumenically and geographically wide-ranging survey and discussion
of contemporary baptismal rites, practice and reflection, and
sacramental theology. Writing within a clear chronological
framework, Bryan Spinks presents two simultaneous volumes on
Baptismal Liturgy and Theology. In the first volume, Early and
Medieval Rituals and Theologies of Baptism, Bryan Spinks summarizes
the understandings of baptism in the New Testament and the
development of baptismal reflection and liturgical rites throughout
Syrian, Egyptian, Roman and African regions. He focuses
particularly on the Homilies of Chrysostom, Cyril of Jerusalem,
Theodore and Ambrose, the post-nicene rites and commentaries, and
the impact of medieval theologies of baptism and Augustinian
theology with reference to Western understanding. In the second
volume, Reformation and Modern Rituals and Theologies of Baptism,
Spinks traces developments through the Reformation, liturgies in
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and explores important new
ecumenical perspectives on developments of twentiethth-century
sacramental discussion.

'The Peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your
hearts and minds in the knowledge and the love of God, and of his
Son Jesus Christ our Lord.' The Book of Common Prayer, with local
variations, is still used in churches inside and outside the
Anglican Communion in over 50 countries and in over 150 languages.
The Rise and Fall of the Incomparable Liturgy is the first study to
trace the evolution and reception of the BCP, from the Elizabethan
settlement of 1559 to the Royal Commission report of 1906, when
work on a new prayer book was begun. Written by a world authority,
here is an illuminating and highly readable account of the ascent
and decline of a world classic, which still informs our common
language as well as much of the great literature of the past four
centuries. It will appeal not only to students of liturgy but also
to general readers interested in history, literature, theology and
cultural studies.

Religion today is in competition with the leisure and entertainment
industries. Gen Y, the postmodern generation, is open to
spirituality; but most of todays young adults have not been born
into faith communities where they feel any lasting allegiance.
Studies suggest that for the young, belief in God is an optional
matter, a virtual consumer choice. As a result, different trends in
worship and worship styles are offered by different churches to
suit lifestyles, attitudes, and personal taste.
Sources for 17th, 18th, and early 19th-century Eucharistic
practices in the Church of Scotland are scarce, in part because
each minister was free to draw up the form and content of the
services he conducted. In addition, many 19th and 20th century
liturgical scholars chose to dismiss this form of public worship,
instead focusing on the earlier tradition of the Book of Common
Order. A Communion Sunday in Scotland ca. 1780: Liturgies and
Sermons addresses the dearth of these liturgical studies by
presenting a modern edition of a late 18th-century published
account of Communion Sunday in the Church of Scotland. Robin A.
Leaver edits and annotates several sermons, prayers, and
congregational songs by the Reverend John Logan (1747?-1788),
together with relevant background information and comparative
documents. Citing Logan's sermons, liturgies, and psalms as a
representative model, Leaver demonstrates that there was a
developed liturgical structure and form in the Church of Scotland,
in which preaching, psalmody, and prayer expressed
Calvinist/Presbyterian theology within established patterns of
worship. Leaver also provides an overview of Scottish Eucharistic
practices from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Appendixes offering
a list of Scottish Psalm Tunes and a translation of the Palatinate
Liturgy (1563) are followed by a comprehensive bibliography, making
this a valuable reference.
Bryan Spinks is one of the world's leading scholars in the field of
liturgy and to have a comprehensive work by him on the Eucharist is
a major catch for SCM. Like the author's previous work on Baptism,
this will become a standard work about the Eucharist and
Eucharistic theology worldwide. The book, a study of the history
and theology of the Eucharist, is the fifth volume in the SCM
Studies in Worship and Liturgy series and will help to establish
the series as a place for landmark books of liturgical scholarship.
This book will be aimed at undergraduate and graduate theology
students, clergy and theologically literate laity. It will assume
some technical knowledge (i. e. it is not an introduction to
liturgy or introduction to sacraments), but will attempt to outline
what the evidence is, and what current scholars think. On occasions
it will advance or argue for why one interpretation is preferable
to another.
This book calls attention to the importance of scholarly reflection
on the writing of liturgical history. The essays not only probe the
impact of important shifts in historiography but also present new
scholarship that promises to reconfigure some of the established
images of liturgy's past. Based on papers presented at the 2014
Yale Institute of Sacred Music Liturgy Conference, Liturgy's
Imagined Past/s seeks to invigorate discussion of methodologies and
materials in contemporary writings on liturgy's pasts and to
resource such writing at a point in time when formidable questions
are being posed about the way in which historians construct the
object of their inquiry.
"The Spirit in Worship 'Worship in the Spirit "represents an
essential contribution, from the field of liturgical studies, to
the vibrant retrieval of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit in
contemporary theology. The fifteen authors of this volume are
scholars and practitioners from a wide range of traditions,
including Pentecostal and charismatic communities as well as voices
from outside the modern West. Together they articulate a richly
diverse understanding of the presence of the Holy Spirit, grounded
both in the practice of worship and in the scholarly reflection
that attends to this practice of faith. Contributors include: N. T.
Wright, Bishop of Durham, U.K. Paul F. Bradshaw, University of
Notre Dame Teresa Berger, Yale University Maxwell E. Johnson,

This seminal work by one of the world’s most distinguished
liturgical scholars fills an important gap in the history of the
Church of Scotland and of Scottish worship. It offers an in-depth
narrative of a neglected liturgical legacy and a perceptive
analysis of the Church’s evolving patterns of worship from the
middle of the 19th century to the present day. A magisterial study,
it includes: • Inherited Patterns of Public Prayer • Liturgical
Disruption: Dr Robert Lee Of Greyfriars, Edinburgh • The Church
Service Society and The Euchologion • Nineteenth Century Public
Worship Provisions, including open-air communions • Worship’s
Companions: Hymns and Choirs • Worship and the High Church
Parties • Culture, Ecclesiology and Architecture • Worship
Between the Two World Wars • The Ecumenical and Liturgical
Movements • Into Postmodernity and the Present

The sanctus (the "thrice holy" of Isaiah 6.3) is found in almost all eucharistic prayer, ancient and modern, and comprises the prayer recited over the bread and wine at the communion service. The origin of the sanctus as a constituent element in the eucharistic prayer is one of the unsolved mysteries of Christian liturgy, and the author of this study makes a careful investigation into its background and the instances of its occurrence in early Christian literature.
