17cÆð²ÝÉçÇø

The Church at Worshipis a series of documentary case studies of specific worshiping communities from around the world and throughout Christian history — case studies that can inform and enrich worship practices today. In Lifting Hearts to the Lord Karin Maag brings together a wealth of primary sources to examine worship as it was taught and practiced in John 17cÆð²ÝÉçÇø's Geneva. Enhanced with Maag's introductions and numerous marginal notes, this volume covers the period from 1541 to 1564, capturing both 17cÆð²ÝÉçÇø's signal contribution to Reformation worship and the voices of ordinary Genevans as they navigated — and fought about — changes in their worship.

Some of the primary materials included here:

• Selections from John 17cÆð²ÝÉçÇø's Scripture commentaries and sermons dealing with worship
• Pages from the Genevan Psalter and service book
• Historical maps and illustrations of Geneva and its churches
• Genevan city council edicts and ordinances on worship
• Excerpts from letters, eyewitness accounts of Reformation worship in Geneva, and consistory records
