Summary: A Strong Step Forward in Ending the Worship Wars!
Comment: Gore's work is insightful, challenging, and well-researched. This is a must read for anyone struggling in the chaotic no-man's-land between the various factions in the worship wars. Whether a strict adherent to the regulative principle, or a staunch defendant of free worship, Gore has provided you with a fresh perspective that should not be overlooked.
As a Presbyterian minister over a multi-generational flock, I found Gore's insights immensely helpful in placing our church's worship within a broader context of charity and harmony in today's fast changing cultural dynamic. Gore has proven for us that the preponderance of evidence stands against a slavish adherence to the Puritan regulative principle. Rather, it is time for us to move towards a more biblical, covenantal understanding of corporate worship in the Reformed denominations, and to embrace all those methods which are Christ-centered, glorifying, edifying, culturally relevant, orderly, and free. I agree with John Frame when he says that Gore's work should move us a strong step forward in ending the worship wars in our churches.

Summary: Eating bread when you have tortillas
Comment: I can honestly say that I did not like this books. See, is one of those books which makes you think and I don't like to think. After all, why waste your time with Gore's dry,shallow, boring, treatment of the regulative principle, when you can read Max Lucado? I say, let us use our money in something worthy!!!

Summary: Confused & Bitter
Comment: Gore does an absolutely horrible job with his treatment of the Regulative Principle of Worship. He tried to find this so called "balance" between legalism and the regulative principle and fails. He is very inconsistent from chapter to chapter, page to page, and even paragraph to paragraph! For instance, at one point in the book he claims the Puritans were sound in their exegesis of key texts, then on the very next page he states they were incorrect and didn't apply them properly. That is disturbing enough, not to mention the fact he refuses to look at the key texts concering the principle in the first place. He admits they are important, but are to vast for this seemingly pointed study. As one who claims to be reformed, shouldn't this be Gore's number one priority? It seems to me he's picking on the most extreme cases he could find of Puritanism, and calling the regulative principle worthless. Gore is another supposedly reformed author attempting to make a name for himself by ripping on the Puritans in hopes to "go against the grain" so to speak to prove that he doesn't worship the reformers. I'm reformed myself, and am tired of people who claim to be reformed attempting to prove to others that they don't worship the reformers themselves. If it's biblical, it's biblical, period. Gore's examples hardly demonstrate his point, and as I said before, he contradicts himself too often to be given the benefit of the doubt.
