Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of worship in the Church of Scotland, tracing its evolution from the Reformation to the mid-17th century. It challenges popular misconceptions and sheds light on the often-overlooked complexities of liturgical practices during this period. The author meticulously examines the transition from the Book of Common Prayer to the Book of Common Order, commonly known as Knox's Liturgy, and its eventual replacement by the Westminster Directory. The book explores the influences of various factions, including the English reformers and the Brownists, on the development of worship practices. It also highlights the role of the Readers, who played a crucial part in leading prayers and scripture readings in the absence of ordained ministers. This exploration of historical documents and records offers valuable insights into the debates and controversies surrounding liturgical forms, extemporaneous prayer, and the role of music in worship. The author contends that the influx of English sectarianism significantly impacted the Church of Scotland, contributing to divisions within Scottish society.
