Third, Luther was purposeful in making the Word of God available to the common man, when before it had only been available to the clergy. Fourth, Luther sought to make the Word of God central to the worship service, hoping to eliminate all extraneous and erroneous practices in the process.
Fifth, Luther took steps to return to the worship service the practice of congregational song. This is the first comprehensive and up-to-date account of the internal arrangement of church buildings in Western Europe between and , showing how these arrangements have met the liturgical needs of their respective denominations, Catholic and Protestant, over this period.
In addition to a chapter looking at the general impact of the Reformation on church buildings, there are separate chapters on the churches of the Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican and Roman Catholic traditions between the mid-sixteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries, and on the ecclesiological movement of the nineteenth century and the liturgical movement of the twentieth century, both of which have impacted on all the churches of Western Europe over the past years.
The book is extensively illustrated with figures in the text and a series of plates and also contains comprehensive guides to both further reading and buildings to visit throughout Western Europe.
In these pages Archbishop Piero Marini reveals the vision, courage, and faith of the pastors and scholars who struggled to implement the Second Vatican Council? While in some circles it is fashionable to propose? This story of the work of the consilium offers a fascinating glimpse into the struggles and tensions that accompanied the realization of the council's dream to promote the "full, conscious and active participation" of the faithful in Roman Catholic worship.
A penetrating analysis of the tensions which surrounded the liturgical renewal in the Catholic Church during the Vatican Council and afterwards. This book also offers fascinating insights into how the Vatican works.? Timothy Radcliffe? Archbishop Piero Marini? It allows those of us not privy to the interior workings of the Roman Catholic Church to see the tussles between the liturgists, most of whom have learned their trade ecumenically where there has been an astonishing scholarly consensus, the Roman Curia and the local Bishops?
Archbishop Marini, the Papal MC, writes with unrivalled knowledge and tremendous verve of the tensions that accompanied the reform, and still do. His work, while scholarly and well-documented, reads more like a detective thriller, and keeps us on the edge of our seats. A companion to?
The reform of worship in the Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council has from the start engaged a whole series of dynamics: between papal primacy, curial supervision, and Episcopal collegiality; between the maintenance of orthodoxy and the promotion of renewal; between historical scholarship and pastoral practice; between universal communicability and cultural variety.
The stakes are high because, in the words of Sacrosanctum Concilium, the liturgy constitutes the source and summit of the Church? Here we are given an inside look? Among the services rendered by this important book is the abundant tribute paid to the energy and skills of Annibale Bugnini, a key figure on the official Roman scene until ? Geoffrey Wainwright Duke University? Without a doubt, the most profound result of the Second Vatican Council has been the liturgical renewal based on Sacrosanctum concilium.
This has been especially evident in the use of the vernacular and the simplification of the rites for Mass. But is this all the fault of Vatican II, and its runaway reforms? Or are wider social, cultural, and moral forces primarily to blame? Catholicism is not the only Christian group to have suffered serious declines since the s. If anything Catholics exhibit higher church attendance, and better retention, than most Protestant churches do. If Vatican II is not the cause of Catholicism's crisis, might it instead be the secret to its comparative success?
Mass Exodus is the first serious historical and sociological study of Catholic lapsation and disaffiliation. Drawing on a wide range of theological, historical, and sociological sources, Stephen Bullivant offers a comparative study of secularization across two famously contrasting religious cultures: Britain and the USA. These memoirs, which Bouyer wrote in a humble and humorous vein--though without withholding his notoriously sharp pen when needed--allow the reader to enter with him into the great events that shook the Church and the world during the era of upheavals and transformations through which he lived.
They amount to an intelligent, sensitive, and pious man's fascinating chronicle and deep reflection on Christianity's life and travails in a world committed to modernity. Bouyer here tells us the full and varied story of a life devoted to the discovery of the sources and Tradition of the Church in doctrine, spirituality, liturgy, and scripture.
We follow Bouyer's journeys from his inherited Protestantism to the fullness of the Catholic Faith, from his position as a Lutheran pastor to the priesthood in the Oratory of France, from humble parish life to the Olympian heights of his official theological and liturgical collaboration and difficulties before and after the Council with such influential figures as Congar, Danielou, de Lubac, Bugnini, and Bouyer paints the lush landscape of a century's illusions and disenchantments; his memoirs are essential for understanding the history of the Church during that momentous time.
His Memoirs, which feature his outspoken opinions and profound intelligence as well as a personality deeply imbued with the true spirit of the Catholic liturgy, can serve as a balance and perhaps an antidote to misinformation about the post-Vatican II developments in the Sacred Liturgy of the Latin Rite.
Is the liturgical heritage bequeathed by John Wesley and the early Methodists still honored in twentieth-century Methodist worship? How broadly has the twentieth-century liturgical movement influenced Methodist worship? Have Methodists made unique liturgical contributions in the establishment and evolution of "uniting" churches in Australia, Canada, or India?
What are the implications of twentieth-century Methodist worship for evangelism and missions? This book focuses on the many ways in which Methodism 'carries' its theology and how Methodism's emphasis contributes to British Christianity.
It asks challenging questions about how evangelism and social welfare may develop in the complex post-modern secular world.
