Description: |
Marcel Metzger's revised edition explores the evolution of Christian liturgy from its apostolic roots to contemporary practice. Metzger traces how the core elements of liturgy were established early on, but their expression has shifted over time in response to pastoral needs, community contexts, and cultural influences. The first millennium focused on shared essentials in Eastern and Western rites, while the second saw developments such as Western liturgical deviations, the Council of Trent's response to the Reformation, and the twentieth-century liturgical renewal.
This edition offers a clear, well-documented historical overview for readers seeking an introduction to the Catholic Church's liturgical life, including the Eucharist, baptism, reconciliation, daily prayer, and sacred time and space. It also includes new translations of ancient texts and expanded material on early Christian worship and liturgical reform. . |
