Publisher's Synopsis
The Worship and Offices of the Church of Scotland is a comprehensive guide to the liturgy and sacraments of the Scottish Presbyterian Church, written by George Washington Sprott and first published in 1882. The book is divided into three sections: the first provides an overview of the history and theology of the Church of Scotland, including its distinctive Calvinist doctrines and practices. The second section examines the various forms of worship and prayer used in the Scottish Church, including the Order of Service, the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, and the use of hymns and psalms in worship. The final section of the book is devoted to the offices and duties of the clergy, including the roles of ministers, elders, and deacons in the life of the Church. Throughout the book, Sprott emphasizes the importance of simplicity and reverence in worship, and provides detailed instructions and explanations for each aspect of the Church's liturgy and practice. The Worship and Offices of the Church of Scotland remains an important resource for scholars and practitioners of Scottish Presbyterianism, as well as anyone interested in the history and theology of the Scottish Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
