Worship and Order in the Church explains the biblical foundations of the Christian church: what it is, what God calls it to do, how it is to be structured, what its officers are, and how it is to guard its own purity through church discipline. Owen’s carefulness and biblical perception will commend this lightly updated edition to church members and leaders alike as a very important resource for modeling our churches according to the Scriptures.
John Owen was an English theologian and "was without doubt not only the greatest theologian of the English Puritan movement but also one of the greatest European Reformed theologians of his day, and quite possibly possessed the finest theological mind that England ever produced" ("Owen, John", in Biographical Dictionary of Evangelicals, p. 494)
