Reviews

"""Nothing could do more for Presbyterian worship than a rediscovery of the pastoral theology of Matthew Henry. Henry is particularly helpful in opening up the full diet of public prayer, the recovery of the sanctity of the Lord's Day, and a systematic preaching through of the Holy Scriptures. That is exactly what the author gives us. We are grateful for the publication of this study."" -Hughes Old, Erskine Theological Seminary, Due West, South Carolina ""While Matthew Henry is well known for his biblical commentaries and writings about prayer, his liturgical writings are not well known. In his book, Jong Hun Joo offers a helpful introduction to Matthew Henry's contributions to the shaping of public worship. Matthew Henry will sharpen our understanding of Nonconformist worship practices and liturgical spirituality and offers an instructive case study in the interplay of form and freedom in the long and variegated history of Protestant worship."" -John D. Witvliet, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary, Michigan"
