The timelessness of this volume springs from the fact that we are living through a worship revolution. Evangelical worship has changed as much in the last twenty years as in the previous two hundred. The process has been swift, pervasive and controversial, leading to the tragic emergence of what have been called ‘worship wars’ in which brothers and sisters in Christ actually quarrel over how to worship their heavenly Father. These developments have not taken place in a context of spiritual renewal. They seem, rather, to be partly the product and partly the cause of an increasing shallowness and worldliness among the professing people of God. Reformed churches are not proving immune to the clamour for change. So it is useful to have before us a calm, reasoned discussion of one of the issues.
'I enthusiastically recommend this book on congregational worship. It is a great relief to have access to a scholarly modern examination of the question, "What musical instruments are and which are not permissible in the public worship of God?" For clarity and fullness of treatment, yet at the same time for courtesy and pastoral wisdom, this short study on an aspect of the regulative principle is first-class. I highly recommend it to church members as well as to ministers of the gospel.' — Maurice Roberts
