Worship even more than theology may be the key to a true
understanding of the Church's history, for through it people
express their interpretation of theology and religion. In this
third volume (chronologically) of a planned several-volume series,
Professor Davies traces liturgy's relationship to music,
literature, and architecture; studies the effects of philosophical,
social, and theological movements (18th century Rationalism, the
Oxford Movement, the Evangelical Revival); and describes the
techniques of such popular preachers and teachers as Whitefield and
Wesley. There are chapters on Anglican, Congregational, Baptist,
Presbyterian, Quaker, and Unitarian worship, forming a rich
portrait of the varieties of Christian worship in England.
Originally published in 1961. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.

In a rich survey encompassing music, art, literature, and
architecture, Professor Davies studies the revolution in religious
thought and worship in England during the Victorian era. One main
trend, the return to conservatism, is revealed in the renascence of
Roman Catholic worship, the Oxford Movement, and the search for
traditional architecture and liturgy. This impetus was balanced by
the drive toward innovation, through the Social Gospel, the
Church's confrontation with science, and the new forms of worship
sought by the Baptists, Congregationalists, and others. This is the
fourth in a five-volume series. Originally published in 1962. The

compassionate, credible, and relevant sermons.

This inspiring anthology gathers a rich and diverse selection of
prayers from famous people of all walks of life from the past two
thousand years. Here are the prayers of individuals like Soren
Kierkegaard, Mother Teresa, Michelangelo, Augustine, Martin Luther
King, Jr., C. S. Lewis, Anne Bradstreet, Blaise Pascal. Francis of
Assisi, and many more. Diverse in intention, emphasis, style, and
feeling, these prayers are grouped according to six practical
classifications to facilitate use. Much more than a work of purely
historical interest, this volume makes an excellent tool for
personal devotion, inspiring readers to deepen their own prayer
lives.
The Vigilant God by Horton Davies, a non-conformist minister who
taught in the Religion Department of Princeton University and
attended church regularly, is a reconsideration of the belief that
God is still active in history. It is a reassessment of the
theology of Providence in the thought of four major Christian
theologians (Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, and Barth) and of their
views on predestination, theodicy, and free will, leading the
author to consider the role it might have for the future of
humanity. The book starts with a sketch of the biblical sources
relating to Providence, predestination, election, and reprobation.
Davies sees Augustine's doctrine of Providence and his view of evil
as privatio boni, as greatly influenced by Plato and his followers.
He dwells on Aquinas the man, his life and his character, open to
Aristotle and his Jewish and Arab commentators, before plunging
into the structure of his encyclopedic thought and works. Davies
appreciates Calvin's regard for Scripture as a means of
illumination of the Spirit, but rejects the pastor's views on
predestination as tyrannical and unjust, and believes that Barth's
positive insistence on God's universal mercy is necessary against
the horrors perpetrated in the twentieth century.
