In studying the history of the vernacular in worship beginning with
the Christian Scriptures, Dynamic Equivalence uncovers the power of
a living language to transform communities of faith. How we pray
when we come together for common worship has always been
significant, but the issue of liturgical language received
unprecedented attention in the twentieth century when Latin Rite
Roman Catholic worship was opened to the vernacular at Vatican II.
Worshiping in one's native tongue continues to be of issue as the
churches debate over what type of vernacular should be employed.
Dynamic Equivalence traces the history of liturgical language in
the Western Christian tradition as a dynamic and living reality.
Particular attention is paid to the twentieth century Vernacular
Society within the United States and how the vernacular issue was
treated at Vatican II, especially within an ecumenical context. The
first chapter offers a short history of the vernacular from the
first century through the twentieth. The second and third chapters
contain a significant amount of archival material, much of which
has never been published before. These chapters tell the story of a
mixed group of Catholic laity and clergy dedicated to promoting the
vernacular during the first half of the twentieth century. Chapter
Four begins with a survey of vernacular promotion in the
Reformation itself, explores the issue of vernacular worship as an
instrument of ecumenical hospitality and concludes with some
examples of ecumenical liturgical cooperation in the years
immediately preceding the Council. The final chapter treats the
vernacular debate at the Council with attention to the Vernacular
Society's role in helping with theimplementation of the vernacular.
Chapters are "A Brief History of the Vernacular," "The Origins of
the Vernacular Society: 1946-1956," "Pressure for the Vernacular
Mounts: 1956-1962," "Vernacular Worship and Ecumenical Exchange,"
"Vatican II and the Vindication of the Vernacular: 1962-1965" Keith
