Historical Foundations of Worship

History & Biography

“This collection offers an admirable and engaging introduction for the student navigating a way into liturgical studies, and it is a comprehensive guide for anyone responsible for overseeing that journey. The contributors have brought scholarly depth as well as a lively sense of the practice of worship to their readers. They write with animation and understand the virtues of conciseness and reading lists that encourage further study rather than inducing dismay. It is particularly good to see chapters on the Anabaptist, Pentecostal, and evangelical traditions joining the ‘mainstream’ Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant families in one volume.”
