Description: The Directory of Public Worship was composed by the same group who wrote the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. They were appointed by the British parliament to restructure the Church of England. Their recommendations were adopted in England and Scotland but later revoked in England. These documents form the basis of the Presbyterian system of church government and practice. Here it is discussed by Sinclair Ferguson and Mark Dever.

"The Westminster Directory of Public Worship represents a flowering of Puritan understanding on the public reading of Scripture, public prayer, and the preaching of the Word. The Directory, like the Confession and the Catechism which bear the Westminster name, contains a wealth of insight on topics relevant to the church in any age. Its brevity and clarity make it palatable even to modern readers beset by busy-ness and multiple distractions."
--Mark Dever

"To read and understand the Puritans is akin to standing in a familiar house and noticing there is an extra door one had never noticed. Press it open and a large basement full of unimagined resources come into view. Here one may linger often, and from here Christians--and not least Christian pastors--may return to the world of their daily service with renewed vigor, with a greater sense of the gospel and its power, deeply challenged to live for their chief end: 'to glorify God and enjoy him forever,' and if applied to the work of the pastor today would have a profound, if at times a disturbing, impact on our understanding of the real task of ministry."
--Sinclair Ferguson
