Summary "Presbyterian Worship: Its Spirit, Method and History" by Robert Johnston is a comprehensive examination of the principles and practices surrounding public worship within the Presbyterian Church, particularly reflecting on its historical evolution since the Reformation. Written in the early 20th century, this work delves into how Presbyterian worship has been shaped by various theological perspectives, cultural contexts, and historical moments, especially in Scotland. The book likely addresses key elements such as the significance of scripture, the role of prayer and music, and the influence of prominent figures like John Knox. The opening of the book sets the stage by emphasizing the ongoing dialogue within the Presbyterian Church about the essence and framework of worship. Johnston outlines the spiritual priorities that define Presbyterian worship, primarily focusing on maintaining a sincere, scriptural foundation that steers clear of enforced liturgical practices. He emphasizes the church’s duty to cultivate a dynamic and spiritually enriching worship environment, balancing liberty with order. By examining historical precedents and methodologies, Johnston seeks to underscore the evolution of worship practices and the Church’s guiding principles, calling attention to the difficulties and opportunities encountered throughout its history.
