Protestant worship

"Drawing on years of teaching experience, James F. White provides a unique overview of Protestant worship. He examines the origins, development, and present characteristics of nine traditions: Lutheran, Reformed, Anabaptist, Anglican, Separatist and Puritan, Quaker, Methodist, Frontier, and Pentecostal. To capture the 'reality of worship,' White looks beyond the printed texts and sacraments. He deals with Protestantism on a historical basis and brings insight by studying distinctively American contributions. He develops fresh and appropriate methods, focusing on ordinary events and tendencies that include piety, times of worship, architectural settings for worship, preaching, public prayer, church music, and social change among people." --

First sentence: The study of Protestant worship has usually been conducted by methods derived from the study of Roman Catholic worship.
