Tracing the origins of daily prayer from the New Testament and
Patristic period, through the Reformation and Renaissance to the
present, this book examines the development of daily rites across a
broad range of traditions including: Pre-Crusader
Constantinopolitan, East and West Syrian, Coptic and Ethiopian,
non-Roman and Roman Western. Structure, texts and ceremonial are
examined, and contemporary scholarship surveyed. Concluding with a
critique of the present tenor of liturgical revision, Gregory
Woolfenden raises key questions for current liturgical change,
suggests to whom these questions should be addressed, and proposes
that the daily office might be the springboard for an authentic
baptismal spirituality. The author explores how prayer and poetic
texts indicate that the thrust of the ancient offices was a
movement from night to morning - from death to resurrection.
