While I favour high-church Presbyterianism, He over-eggs the pudding in relation to written prayers and needs to understand why the Covenanters were opposed to the imposition of the BCP (not to mention the fact that he needs to better understand the distinction between different parts of worship). I also think that he sets up too many false dichotomies between experimental Puritanism and liturgical Reformed piety.

The exposure of conservative Presbyterians as liturgical modernists was especially interesting. While I am a bit suspicious of DGH's penchant for seeing revivalism round every corner, it certainly does seem to have had a big influence on Presbyterian piety and worship - to the point that they are just Baptists who drink and smoke, or, else Wesleyans who believe in predestination.

The chapter on Gresham Machen and the founding of the OPC was very good, though probably out of place in this book.

One of the funniest things in this book is the author's highlighting the fact that while evangelicals often oppose anything that reeks of "high-churchism", they are in agreement with non-Reformed high-church traditions on the question of holy days and a church calendar.

The chapter on the spirituality of the church was more moderate than I expected, though I deny that the Southern Presbyterian appropriation of this notion was a valid one.
