Böcker i Drew University Studies in Liturgy-serien

Begins with a study of important early figures in the life of the Catholic Apostolic Church, including Edward Irving, Henry Drummond, and John Bate Cardale and proceeds to evaluate historically and spiritually its crucial effect upon the German Reformed Church, the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in North America, and the Church of Scotland.

This book is the first detailed examination of the general Eucharistic practices of the Church of Scotland, and presents a modern edition of a late 18th century published account of Communion Sunday, its sermons, prayers, and congregational song, together with relevant background information and comparative documents.

Traces the controversial shift from metrical psalms to hymnody, and also takes into account legal issues and litigation that developed over the introduction of hymns into church life.
