Hyde explores how John Owen linked several aspects of his theology in order to express his eschatological vision. Despite many studies over the past several decades, several aspects of John Owen’s practical, political, ecclesiastical, and eschatological emphases have remained unexamined. One specific area in which these theological and practical aspects come together is how Owen linked his theology of Scripture, covenants, Christ’s priesthood, and the Holy Spirit’s work in prayer in a multi-faceted view of Trinitarian worship to express his political-ecclesiastical eschatological vision.Public worship as the highest expression on earth of the believer’s communion with the Triune God in heaven, was not merely a devotional, practical, or theological issue for Owen. Within his own historical context, worship was as expression of an eschatological vision for England’s church and state. Subsequently, Hyde deftly shows how Owen’s concept of Worship was not immune to the social, political, theological, and ecclesiastical realities of the seventeenth-century. This is an essential study for anybody wishing to understand the liturgical theology of this influential theologian.

Public worship is the nursery of the Holy Spirit.As you enter the sanctuary, you notice them at once. Then, as you take your seat next to a family, they are right there beside you. Throughout the ensuing service, you see them--and hear them. The presence of children in public worship is not only striking, but also increasingly strange in modern American church life. In fact, the idea of your children sitting or standing next to you during prayer, singing, or the pastor''s sermon can be downright scary.This book is based in the conviction that public worship is the nursery of the Holy Spirit and that bringing children in is both beneficial and a blessing. The Nursery of the Holy Spirit offers practical advice on how to make this ideal a reality in your children''s lives.

Today, too many Christians are followers of novelty, religious fads, and strange new doctrines unheard of in the history of the church. On the contrary, to be a Christian is to join the great "e;cloud of witnesses"e; (Heb 12:1) through the ages, confessing with the Body of Christ the "e;faith that was once for all delivered to the saints"e; (Jude 3). This is what Paul called the "e;good confession"e; (1 Tim 6:12). This workbook will lead you in a study of what it means to be a Christian from the vantage point of the Bible, the ancient Christian creeds, and the Protestant confessions of the sixteenth century.
