Reformation Heritage Books

This study deals with the reemergence of Genevan Psalmody in English especially in the early 20th Century Christian Reformed Church. It details the historical development and analyses and evaluates the contents of the "Chorale Section" in the Psalter, which is still used by various Dutch Reformed denominations, including the Free Reformed Church of North America. Though some valid critique may be made concerning the "Chorale Section," this study concludes that "every effort ought to be made to revive the best of the tradition of Genevan psalmody in Reformed worship on the American continent, for it is a heritage that, characterized by 'weight and majesty,' aims to enhance true worship to the glory of God and deepen vital congregational and personal spirituality."
