Paul Bradshaw, one of the world's foremost scholars on the history
of Christian liturgy, has shared this expertise in several works
that have become standard texts for students of liturgy. In Rites
of Ordination, Bradshaw turns his attention to the ways that
Christians through the ages have understood what it means to ordain
someone as a minister and how that has been expressed in liturgical
practice. Bradshaw considers the typological background to ordained
ministry some have drawn from the Old Testament and what ministry
meant to the earliest Christian communities. He explores the
ordination rites and theology of the early church, the Christian
East, the medieval West, the churches of the Reformation, and the
post-Tridentine Roman Catholic Church.
