He goes on to discuss aspects of this worship during the monarchy: the cult, the temple, psalmody, and the relation of prophecy to liturgy. The institution of the Synagogue is then considered, and finally the book deals with the forms and the spirit of worship. Professor Rowley reviews all the current arguments on the subject with his usual sound judgement. R1. Near Fine/Near Fine.
