The Regulative Principle of Worship

In this book, Dr. Waldron provides an excellent, broad, and comprehensive study on the topic of worship in the gathered church on the Lord's Day. He shows that the Regulative Principle constitutes an important, even basic, peculiarity of both the Reformed tradition and biblical teaching. The Regulative Principle of worship is the result of understanding that God can only be worshipped in the way He has established, especially for His gathered church. In this biblical, confessional, and historical study, Dr. Sam Waldron expounds in six sections the Reformed understanding of how the gathered church should conduct itself in worship. Starting with its historical significance, its ecclesiological framework, and its biblical support; then explaining its multifaceted function, its necessary limitation, and finally concluding with answers to various objections to this guiding principle.
