Hearing God's Words (New Studies In Biblical Theology Series)

In this book Adam takes us through the important issues of times, places, objects and actions within the worship of the church. A reasonable portion incorporating the views of the church fathers with those in the reformation period is included, especially emphasising the works of John Calvin. I found the section, emphasising the need for the whole person to be engaged within their spirituality - mind AND heart - together seeking the Lord, as most helpful. \\r\\n\\r\\nAlso a contrast between evangelical spontaneity and Reformed considered spirituality led to a discussion between Puritanism and its counterpart in Quakerism. Adam highlighted the weaknesses in both camps while providing a solid case for the historical practice of spirituality in the history of the church.
