Most histories of Christian worship are written as if nothing
significant in liturgical history ever happened in North America,
as if cultural diversities were insignificant in the development of
worship, and as if most of what mattered were words the priest or
minister addressed to God. This book is a revisionist work,
attempting to give new direction to liturgical history by treating
the experience of worship of the people in the pews as the primary
liturgical document. It means liturgical history written facing the
other way--that is, looking into the chancel rather than out of it.
Relishing the liturgical diversity of recent centuries as firm
evidence of Chritianity's ability to adapt to a wide variety of
peoples and places, Professor White shows that this tendency has
been apparent in Chrisitian worship since its inception in the New
Testament churches. Instead of imposing one tradition's criteria on
worship, he tries to give a balanced and comprehensive approach to
the development of the dozen or more traditions surviving in the
modern world.
