Hughes Oliphant Old masterfully summarizes the worship of Israel and the early church and traces the development of worship through the period of the Reformation. He provides a sterling historical study that will be highly useful for pastors and church study groups as well as for scholars and students interested in Reformed worship. An extensive bibliography of resources for the study of Reformed worship adds to the value of this book.
Hughes Oliphant Old is a former member of the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey and a former pastor. He is the author of a multi-volume history of preaching.
