I was at the seminary bookstore today getting a book for class. Of course, I had to browse! Hidden on the shelf was "The Patristic Roots of Reformed Worship." I have been wanting this for ages and was all set to send off to the publisher for it. The 20% discount was way sweet.
Also got another book by Old on Reformed Worship. Also bought Salvation Belongs to the Lord by Frame. I heard that this is one of his best. Am I right in thinking this?
I tried to get the Danny Hyde book- they didn't have it.
Also found on Napster tonight the album "Depth of Mercy" by Red Mountain Church. I had been looking for this one for ages too.
Oh, yeah and I got loadsa reading to do for class.
Just as well I am off for several days.

You filled my heart with greater joy
than others may have found
As they rejoiced at harvest time,
when grain and wine abound.Ps 4:7, Sing Psalms 2003

Enjoying your reading in the city I love the most!

Thanks. St Louis was looking particularly lovely yesterday and today.

It was raining a few hours ago. My Dad and son are there for a Drag race this weekend.



I just purchased Messiah the Prince again by Symington. I keep giving my books away.

"Our object should not be to have scripture on our side but to be on the side of scripture; and however dear any sentiment may have become by being long entertained, so soon as it is seen to be contrary to the Bible, we must be prepared to abandon it without hesitation."

And the Cardinals beat the Cubs with a walk off homer in extra innings. Can't get much better than that!

Wonderful book. It's already on the re-read list for the summer.

Enjoy the book.

Old has written a surprising amount of really good books. I enjoyed his highly informative and well researched Worship: Reformed according to the Scriptures

Along those same lines, you may want to pick up another work that I have found profitable (although I haven't yet finished): The Shaping of the Reformed Baptismal Rite in the Sixteenth Century

And if you are enthralled by the history of preaching, you absolutely must pick up the currently six volume (seven now?) of The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church. There is nothing else out there with its scope and engaging style of writing. There are ministers included of whom you haven't ever heard mention made in church history courses (as well as all of the expected "big fish"), but who he has uncovered in his years of research, an of whom he gives evaluation of their style and approach from their extant manuscripts. He very interestingly and often insightfully sets their preaching within the social and ecclesiastical circumstances of the minister's time, and discusses approaches to preaching (such as festal, catechetical, expository, etc.) as well. You should pick this up if you do not already have it.
