Very Rev Dr A W Godfrey Brown

There is a detailed survey of The Book of Public Worship 1965 (first published 1923, revised 1942). Further revision was undertaken in 1982-89. Mention is made of the 1990 Coleraine Declaration on Public Worship and the frequency of celebration of Holy Communion.

Rev Professor R Buick Knox

A history of Presbyterianism in Ireland from the 17th century Scottish settlers. An account of Episcopal impositions, and the influence of the Westminster Confession, Catechism and Directory of Public Worship, bringing greater freedom and liberty in conduct of worship. There is mention of the introduction of organs and of the representation of Irish Presbyterians in successive editions of the Church Hymnary. The article has an extensive bibliography.

Rev Dr A Stewart Todd

Stewart Todd regrets the total abandonment of traditional prayer language, citing the change from “thou” to “you” and the translation into modern speech of long-accepted forms and structures. There are suggestions for models of contemporary bidding prayers. Despite its scant reference to the work of the Holy Spirit, he finds it overall a worthy work of revision.

Rev Peter D Thomson

Peter Thomson notes the use of inclusive language throughout the book. He questions the use of REB as the only Bible version, also the changes in forms of liturgical texts and the three year lectionary rather than four. He is appreciative of the comprehensive alternative services, ordinances and prayers.

Rev Tom A Davidson Kelly

Tom Davidson Kelly laments the omission of the traditional words “Holy things to holy people”, with the paradox of holiness/unworthiness in receiving the blessed sacrament. Sinners are quickened in their desire for sanctification, being made holy through Christ.

Peter Davidson

Reprint of an article in the Evangelical Quarterly 1955. It reveals the pervasiveness in Whyte's preaching of the subject of sin, and of specific sins. He was criticised by contemporaries for an over-emphasis on this area and for falling into the trap of preaching justification by works which did not allow for 'real peace'. The relationship of justification to sanctification is explored and the place of prayer.
