Psalm singing is a Gospel command but many churches don’t practice it. Sydenham explains why this is a command, and how we are to praise God in this central aspect of the Christian life – worshiping God correctly.
This wonderful work by Nathaniel Holmes is a beginning or introductory teaching on how to sing praise to God by the Psalms – God’s inspired songbook for the church. A biblical treatment not to be missed!
All Westminster Puritans believed in Psalm singing, but there are few works by the Westminster Divines written about this subject (other than the Confession and Directory for Public and Private worship). This work is one of the most famous and important. Psalm singing is almost lost today and it is commanded in Scripture.
There are a handful of puritan works on singing Psalms. This work by John Cotton (a New England Pilgrim) was quoted repeated by individual Puritans in England on this most important subject. It is one of the best treatments of psalmody now in print. For the student of worship this is an important biblical work on the subject of Christ’s worship.
If you have ever doubted your salvation as a Christian, this psalm is for you. It contains in it a thesis that God’s word is to be preeminent in the believer’s life, and it houses in it everything that a growing Christian would need to draw closer to Jesus Christ if they would but take time to consider it, to meditate on it, even in the midst of the worst afflictions.
John Owen’s work on both worship and psalm singing shows theological precision and hearty biblical exposition. Edward Hutchins on psalmody is nothing less than extraordinary.
Charnock tackles John 4:24 and shows how true worship is dictated by the Supreme Lawgiver, Jesus Christ. Annexed to this work is Jonathan Clapham’s excellent treatise on singing psalms.
This is the first time in church history that you can read the four most comprehensive books on exclusive psalmody written by the Puritans in one handy volume. Compiled in this eBook is a 60% savings than buying each individual volume.
Are you living your life as a holy Christian? Did you know the Bible gives us directives and rules to follow that concern every area of the Christian walk? These are not Pharisaical rules, but rules that aid us to be more like Jesus Christ. In walking the Christian down the road of Christianity, Byfield teaches us what it means to be a Christian by summarizing the rules God has given us to live according to the Gospel. An outstanding work!
Do you worship the Living God in a manner He deems acceptable? Or is it according to men’s inventions? Hear what the covenanters had to say about it.
