In this chapter John Frame argues for a limited use of Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) or Contemporary Worship Music (CWM) in the worship of the church. Frame seeks to define CWM and wants to place it in the context of its relationship to the broader phenomenon of Contemporary Worship (CW).

This book argues for the historic Reformed approach to worship and ministry over against contemporary worship. The author paints a picture of the challenges regarding worship that face Reformed churches today. The author maintains that the heritage of Reformed worship, which weaves theology, piety, and worship together, is the cure for these challenges.
