While the New Testament has little to say about worship, many in the Reformed world continue to heatedly debate on the topic, with seemingly minor ceremonies or innovations revealing deep theological questions about the regulative principle and about how much can and should be adapted for modern worship. In this small but thoughtful book, Peter Leithart examines David's liturgical innovations in Samuel and Chronicles, and teases out fascinating implications, not only for what the Bible requires of worship, but also for how the Old Testament continues to apply in the new covenant.
