THE GENEVAN SERVICE BOOK 1556 Reformed Worship – John Knox – Calvin – Scottish Reformation – Puritan Liturgy An important scholarly study and reproduction of the Genevan Service Book of 1556, examining the origins, development and liturgical use of the forms of worship associated with the English Protestant exiles at Frankfurt and Geneva and their subsequent influence upon the Reformed Church, particularly in Scotland. The volume contains extensive historical introductory material followed by the texts and notes relating to the Forme of Prayers, the Ratio et Forma, and the Sunday Morning Service, together with the orders for Baptism, the Lord's Supper, Marriage, Visitation of the Sick and Burial of the Dead, and the Election and Ordination of Ministers. Of particular interest is the connection with John Knox and the English congregation at Geneva. The foreword notes the importance of Knox's Genevan Service Book and its place in the history of Presbyterian worship. The work also explores the relationship between the Genevan forms and the liturgical traditions of John Calvin, Martin Bucer and the continental Reformation. Among the contents are: Origins of the English churches at Frankfurt and Geneva Origin of the Forme of Prayers Origin of the Ratio et Forma History and significance of the Sunday Morning Service Position of the minister Order of Baptism Order of the Lord's Supper Marriage Service Visitation of the Sick and Burial of the Dead Election and Ordination of Ministers
