- Synopsis
- The 2,000-year history of Christian worship and its varied manifestations in the contemporary world are explored by scholars of religion and history. They emphasize corporate worship, predominantly celebrated in cathedrals, parishes, and other congregational settings, though they do give some attention to monastic communities. The presentation are largely descriptive, considering concrete performances and liturgical texts within a particular cultural context. The arrangement is chronological, with geographical detours when necessary to keep moving in the same approximate direction. Entry-specific bibliographies list secondary sources that are likely to be accessible and available to non-specialists. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
