A Brief Instruction in the Worship of God

A rigorous yet accessible catechism in the tradition of Congregational Puritanism, structured as question and answer with full scriptural explication. Owen addresses the regulative principle of worship — that God is to be honored only in ways he has appointed — then works through the gathered church, its officers, prayer, preaching, baptism, the Lord's Supper, and church discipline. Grounded in meticulous exegesis, it serves as a practical manual for Reformed church order and the believer's covenantal obligations to Christ as King and Head of his Church.
