Public Worship (Classic Reprint)

Thomas Harwood Pattison

4.9/5 (20535 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Public Worship There are three strategic points in the work of the minister; and unless he gives to each of these its due weight he can scarcely hope to make full proof of his ministry. Of these the first is the pastorate, the second the religious service, and the third the sermon. No doubt the predominance of the sermon in Christian worship from the beginning has given to the service its peculiar character. The Protestant Reformation laid great emphasis upon the discourse, and Vinet scarcely exaggerates when he says, With the Catholics, preaching has little place; it is almost everything with us. In the case of the free Churches, which are not bound by any liturgical form, this is especially true. My purpose in this book is to give to all the parts of Public Worship their due importance. It is intended to be complementary to The Making of the Sermon, and to distribute the emphasis which an exclusive study of Homiletics might be tempted to concentrate on the discourse. We often hear it said that the sermon without the preacher is the gun without the man at the back of it. With equal justice it may be added that the sermon severed from the entire service is shorn of a large measure of its strength.
