The Synod of Pistoia and Vatican II
In this book, Shaun Blanchard uses a close study of the Synod of Pistoia (1786) to argue that the roots of the Vatican II reforms must be pushed back beyond the widely acknowledged twentieth-century forerunners of the Council, beyond Newman and the Tübingen School in the nineteenth century, to the eighteenth century, in which a variety of reform movements attempted ressourcement and aggiornamento.
Authentic Liturgical Renewal in Contemporary Perspective
The ongoing debates on the present state and the future of the Roman Catholic worship are not confined to specialists, but are clearly of interest to a wider public, as the responses to the Sacra Liturgia UK conference, held in London in July 2016, have shown. This volume contains the proceedings of the conference and raises the question of how to bring to fruition the insights and instructions of the Second Vatican Council and its key document on the liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, in the life of the Church today. The initial contribution from Robert Cardinal Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, calls for a fuller implementation of Sacrosanctum Concilium. Following on from this other leading figures and liturgical scholars, such as Joris Geldhof, David Fagerberg and Alcuin Reid, examine Catholic worship from a variety of perspectives, including historical, pastoral, social, cultural and artistic themes. Taken together, these chapters present another crucial step along the route of authentic liturgical renewal in the contemporary world.
Liturgies in East and West
The celebration of the liturgy is central to the life of faith and also for the self-understanding of the various churches in the East and West. An amazing convergence of Christian denominations has taken place in the area of liturgy and liturgical studies since the Second Vatican Council, entering also into the practice of liturgical celebration. In this collection - with contributions from a symposium held in Vienna in November 2007 - internationally recognized scholars from various Christian denominations present the ecumenical contributions and the Jewish roots of the Christian liturgy. [PLEASE NOTE: The individual essays in this volume are written in various languages. The book contains ten essays in English, eight in German, and two in French.] (Series: Austrian Studies of Liturgy and Sacramental Theology / Osterreichische Studien zur Liturgiewissenschaft und Sakramententheologie - Vol. 6)

Byzantium and Islam
This magnificent volume explores the epochal transformations and unexpected continuities in the Byzantine Empire from the 7th to the 9th century. At the beginning of the 7th century, the Empire's southern provinces, the vibrant, diverse areas of North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean, were at the crossroads of exchanges reaching from Spain to China. These regions experienced historic upheavals when their Christian and Jewish communities encountered the emerging Islamic world, and by the 9th century, an unprecedented cross- fertilization of cultures had taken place. This extraordinary age is brought vividly to life in insightful contributions by leading international scholars, accompanied...
European church architecture 1900-1950

Contemporary photographs and floor plans help readers identify the unique characteristics of each building, and are complemented by texts outlining the churches' architectural highlights.
Introduction to the Study of Liturgy
Worship is at the heart of the Christian faith. This applies equally to all denominations. For that reason it is all the more important that the ordering of worship and its place in the life of the church is regularly rewritten and reinterpreted. This volume—based on the third, completely revised German edition from 2013 by two of the foremost liturgical scholars in Germany—offers a contemporary, comprehensive introduction to the foundations for the study of liturgy today, one from which scholars and students in the English-speaking world can also profit. Beyond appealing to students of liturgy and theology, this book reaches out to everyone who wants to know more about the liturgical essence and dimensions of the church.
Die Wort-Gottes-Feier als sacra celebratio
Die Liturgiekonstitution des Zweiten Vatikanums wollte als Teil der Liturgiereform die Feier des Wortes Gottes stärken und mit der "sacra Verbi Dei celebratio" eine zusätzliche Feierform gefördert wissen, die an alte Traditionen einer eigenständigen Wort-Gottes-Feier anknüpft. Sie kann von Priester, Diakon oder sonstigen Beauftragten geleitet werden. Das Konzil intendierte eine generelle Etablierung der Wort-Gottes-Feier im Gemeindeleben. Unter dieser Voraussetzung würde sie sich gerade dort bewähren, wo sonntags keine Eucharistiefeier möglich ist. Ein "Ersatz" der Eucharistiefeier war aber, wie Meurer zeigt, gerade nicht im Blick der Konzilsväter. Diese Ersatzfunktion wurde nach de...
A History of the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom
This study comprises the second volume of a projected five-volume history. The term "diptychs" is used here in its proper technical sense for the diaconal proclamations found either in the anaphora or preanaphora of eastern eucharistic liturgies. No one has previously attempted a detailed historico-liturgical analysis of this important unit of Late Antique Byzantine Liturgy. That is what this short monograph attempts.
