Designed as a general introduction to Christian liturgy, this book
explores the meaning, history, and practice of worship in Eastern
and Western, Catholic and Protestant traditions. Its chapters cover
the theology of worship, the historical development of Eucharist
and the Prayer Offices, the lectionary and customs of the church
year, other sacramental rites, and the use of music and the arts.
As such, it is a perfect textbook for students seeking to
understand the basics of liturgical worship, as well as a reliable
guide for worship leaders.
Distinguished liturgical historian and theologian Frank Senn here
ventures behind the liturgical screen, behind the texts, and behind
the rubrics to reconstruct the everyday religious expression in
Christian history. Senn's magisterial Christian Liturgy: Catholic
and Evangelical (1997) has been widely hailed not only for its
comprehensive treatment of Christian liturgy in all ages and
communions but also for its appreciation of the dynamic role of
culture in shaping liturgical expression. In The People's Work,
Senn delves further into the cultural home of liturgy, judiciously
and insightfully looking at processions and pilgrimage, communion
practices and spiritual reading, fasting and feasting--all the
myriad liturgical practices that have been the concrete life and
primary work of the body of Christ.
A knowledgeable liturgical theologian and historian proposes the
lines of a Christian worldview that can inform liturgical renewal.
