O Come Let Us Worship: Corporate Worship in the Evangelical Church

Michael A. Rogers: It is refreshing to see biblical theology so thoroughly integrated with practical directives for developing the worship service. (Eternity) Clifford E. Bajema: Out of Rayburns rich experience as a teacher and as a preacher who has served five pastorates he gives us a book which should further liturgical interest and discussion on Reformed circles... All in all Rayburns book is very much worth reading. (Calvin Theological Journal) William F. Hunter: Will hopefully stimulate evangelicals to explore a relatively unknown aspect to the corporate life of believers. (Journal of Psychology and Theology) Donald Macleod: A very ambitious survey...it is a very comprehensive treatment of the worship responsibilities of the everyday parish ministry. (Princeton Seminary Bulletin) Garry Harris: A critical self-analysis of the short-comings in the evangelical liturgical experience. (It) should serve as a guide to more meaningful corporate worship. (Seminary Review) R. O. Zorn: A useful volume which will make ministers and their congregations more conscious of the nature and significance of public worship. (Vox Reformata) Laurence H. Stookey: Those evangelicals who conduct worship services which are casual and uncoordinated and who shun the riches of catholic prayer and hymnody are presented with a thoughtful challenge by a writer with impeccable evangelical credentials. (Homiletics) Robert G. Rayburn (d: 1990) was the founding president of Covenant Theological Seminary where he also served as Professor of Practical Theology. He also served five pastorates including the College Church in Wheaton Illinois. As a chaplain in the United States Army he served in both the Second World War and the Korean War.
