Hi Michael,
Yes, the book certainly deals with the dialogical principle of worship. One article is entitled: "The Dialogical Nature of Worship in the Old Testament." This article was written by a retired pastor and former professor of our seminary (RPTS)--Dr. Clark Copeland.
Well, as I think about it, perhaps I should include the whole table of contents:

Chapter 2: The Fear of the Lord in Worship by Herman Hanko
Chapter 3: The Dialogical Nature of Worship in the Old Testament by Dr. Clark Copeland

Chapter 5: Second Commandment: The Principle that God is to be Worshipped Only in Ways Prescribed in Holy Scripture and that the Holy Scripture Prescribes the Whole Content of Worship, Taught by Scripture Itself by William Young (doesn't that sound like the title of a Puritan work?
)
