And God Spake All These Words: The Reading of the Law in Worship (1)

This article explores the theological and practical significance of reading the Law (specifically the Ten Commandments) as a distinct element within Reformed corporate worship, examining its role in the covenant dialogue between God and His people. Griess argues that the reading of the Law represents God's communication of His rule over the lives of covenant members and demonstrates how this practice fits within the regulative principles of Reformed worship. The article grounds this discussion in both biblical theology and the Reformed tradition's understanding of the Law's place in the New Testament church.
