Beschreibung

This book provides a 2000 year history of Christian worship in its social context, combining sociological theory, social history and the latest developments in the study of liturgy. As well as examining the mainstream traditions of Christian worship in Europe and Byzantium, Stringer also gives space to lesser-known traditions in Armenia, India, Ethiopia and elsewhere. The book is aimed at all those interested in Christian worship and is written to appeal to students, clergy and lay members of churches as well as to liturgical scholars of all Christian denominations.
