In this book the 2000 year history of Christian worship is viewed
from a sociological perspective. Martin Stringer develops the idea
of discourse as a way of understanding the place of Christian
worship within its many and diverse social contexts. Beginning with
the Biblical material the author provides a broad survey of changes
over 2000 years of the Christian church, together with a series of
case studies that highlight particular elements of the worship, or
specific theoretical applications. Stringer does not simply examine
the mainstream traditions of Christian worship in Europe and
Byzantium, but also gives space to lesser-known traditions in
Armenia, India, Ethiopia and elsewhere. Offering a contribution to
the ongoing debate that breaks away from a purely textual or
theological study of Christian worship, this book provides a
greater understanding of the place of worship in its social and
cultural context.
