Divine Worship

The modern church has lost its bearings in the matter of worship. What was once approached with trembling awe is now treated with casual familiarity. Light shows and emotional experiences have replaced reverence and truth. But God has not changed, nor has He left His people without instruction. In Divine Worship, John Corbet-a 17th-century English Puritan minister and theologian (1620-1680)-offers a needed corrective with bold clarity and pastoral gravity. This work is a full-throated defense of biblically regulated worship. Divided into three sections, it covers the nature of worship (what it is, to whom it belongs, and how it must be rendered), the use and abuse of ceremonies (such as kneeling, the cross in baptism, and holy-days), and the danger of religious excesses and imposed human inventions. Corbet refuses both superstition and careless novelty, calling the church back to the simplicity and seriousness of Scripture. This is not a book for the curious-it is for the faithful. It is not an academic relic but a necessary tool for any Christian, pastor, or church desiring to honor God as He has commanded. With theological precision and spiritual urgency, Divine Worship lays an axe to the root of human traditions and restores the supremacy of divine instruction.

The modern church does not need more creativity-it needs obedience. Corbet's work is more relevant now than ever. Read it. Repent. Reform.
