John Owen and the Worship of God--A Review Book Review by hicaliber

This paper reviews "A Brief Instruction in the Worship of God and Discipline of the Churches of the New Testament" in which John Owen attempts to explain the set-up of a Christian Church. Owen's work is presented in a question and answer format, which the review imitates by addressing each of Owen's questions and adding commentary. The reviewer also criticizes some of Owen's ideas, including his liberal outlook toward other sects of Christianity. The reviewer concludes by describing Owen's work as a catechism or explication of Christianity.
