Roman Catholic Worship

Trent to Today

A great deal has happened in Roman Catholic worship since Vatican II promulgated the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy on December 4, 1963. But the myth persists that very little happened in the four centuries between the end of the Council of Trent on December 4, 1563, and Vatican II.Roman Catholic Worship explores what occurred in those four hundred years before Vatican II and how the stage was set for all the changes that have come about since the council. It may be true that liturgical texts were frozen during those intervening centuries, but to assume that liturgical texts are the whole of liturgy is questionable. James White demonstrates that the worship life of Roman Catholicism was in constant transition during this entire period despite the intransigence of liturgical texts. Chapters are ?The Legacy of the Council of Trent,? ?The Baroque Age,? ?The Enlightenment,? ?The Romantic Era,? ?The Journey to the Second Vatican Council,? ?The Legacy of the Second Vatican Council,? ?The Journey Beyond the Second Vatican Council,? and ?The Future of Roman Catholic Worship.? Includes glossary, bibliography, index of persons and index of subjects.?James White?s Roman Catholic Worship is both balanced and brilliant. Balanced, as a thorough overview of four and a half centuries of positive and negative development in Catholic worship. Brilliant, as a readable, lively study that can be a joy to any interested Christian. The breadth of the volume is best demonstrated in its originality: it goes far beyond chronology of the somewhat narrow liturgical books (until Vatican II) and integrates profound growth during the same period in liturgical art and architecture, music and preaching, and, perhaps the most original study, in communal devotional practices. And an invaluable contribution is made in the final three chapters: all the diversity of the Vatican Council?s revolution well summarized, critiqued, and fully updated.? Rev. Msgr. Frederick R. McManus, J.C.D. Professor Emeritus School of Canon Law The Catholic University of America?Since 1995, the graduate student or generalist in Catholic liturgics has had a friend in James White?s Roman Catholic Worship. Now White has published a second edition of his stellar introduction, a survey of four and a half centuries of the Church?s liturgical life. It should remain one of the field?s most important volumes for years to come.? Catholic Books Review?This book makes such a degree of insight vividly available because it has grown out of decades of personal observation, of actually going there, being there, praying there. . . . Get this for your pastor, your church bible study group, any candidate for the ministry whom you know, and yourself.? Sacramental LifeThis remains an important work. Any liturgical bookshelf that is bare of the first edition should exhort its owner to secure a copy of the second. The book deserves consideration by church leaders engaged in the current liturgy debates, liturgical teachers and historians who are more often than not focused on the medieval period, and readers in general seeking insight into our immediate history and current mindset.

Rediscovering Worship

Past, Present, and Future

Many opinions contend in the church today for what constitutes true worship of God and how best it can be practiced. This collection of essays carries on a conversation between biblical scholars and church music practitioners. It begins with three studies investigating what we can learn about worship in the Old Testament, followed by essays on the teaching about worship in the Gospels, Epistles, and the book of Revelation in the New Testament. The church music practitioners featured in the book respond to each of these essays. The final essay by Wendy Porter takes a historical journey of theological reflection on Christian worship from the days of the early church, tracing worship developments in the Western church through the centuries to today. This is an important book for anyone who wants to think theologically about how and why Christians worship God.

Reconciliation of Worship in the Black Church

Spontaneous Worship

One of the foundations of life in the black church is the proliferation of various worship practices and music. Reconciliation of Worship in the Black Church seeks to pave the way to the revitalization and restoration of faith celebration within the black church. There is a need to develop a practical theology of worship, incorporating the two main types used within the black church traditional, devotional-style worship, with its focus on spontaneous praise and testimony; and contemporary praise and worship, with its emphasis on rehearsed liturgy. In recent years, the rich history of traditional, spontaneous worship of the black church has been challenged by the praise-and-worship movement. Charles Lewis's insightful look at his own denomination demonstrates the importance of clinging to traditional practices while giving due consideration to modern modes of worship. Lewis sees the issue not as a choice between two competing styles but as a challenge for the church to blend the styles without compromising genuine worship or alienating large segments of the church. Carefully researched and presented from the heart, Reconciliation of Worship in the Black Church hopes to contribute to a lasting unification of worship practices.

Religious Practice and Cultural Construction of Animal Worship in Egypt from the Early Dynastic to the New Kingdom

Ritual Forms, Material Display, Historical Development

Religious Practice and Cultural Construction of Animal Worship in Egypt from the Early Dynastic to the New Kingdom presents an articulated historical interpretation of Egyptian 'animal worship' - intended as a segment of religious practice focused on the mobilisation of selected animals within strategically designed ritual contexts - from the Early Dynastic to the New Kingdom, and offers a new understanding of its chronological development through a fresh review of pertinent archaeological and textual data. The goal is twofold: (1) to re-conceptualise the notion of 'animal worship' on firm theoretical and material bases, reassessing its heuristic value as a tool for analysis; (2) to demonstrate, accordingly, that 'animal worship' did not represent a late degeneration of traditional religion, socially (popular cult) and thematically (animal mummies and burials) restricted, but a complex domain of religious practice with a longer history and a larger variety of configurations than usually assumed.
