Cet ouvrage étudie la piété quotidienne, hebdomadaire et annuelle de l'Eglise de Genève, révélant un rythme liturgique qui doit beaucoup à la théologie de Calvin. Il traite des sermons, des sacrements, du mariage, de la piété domestique, du ministère auprès des malades et des mourants. Il met en lumière le développement du chant des psaumes, la liturgie du dimanche après-midi ; il décrit les transformations de l'année liturgique, le développement du jour de prière et le sens providentiel du temps mis en oeuvre. Il ne néglige pas les registres de baptême et de mariage pour montrer comment les actes ecclésiastiques étaient attachés aux sermons. La dimension théologique des pratiques cultuelles genevoises se double de questions d'organisation, telle que la rotation de pasteurs bien formés dans les différentes églises de la ville. C'est le grand mérite du livre d'Elsie McKee de cerner tous ces aspects avec une minutieuse attention.
