The Oxford History of Christian Worship

The Oxford History of Christian Worship

Originally published in 2005, The Oxford History of Christian Worship is a comprehensive and authoritative history of the origins and development of Christian worship to the present day. Backed by an international roster of experts as contributors, this book examines the liturgical traditions of Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant, and Pentecostal traditions throughout history and across the world. As part of the ORE of Religion, The Oxford History of Christian Worship will receive a new update, with revised articles as well as brand new topics to address the ongoing changes in the field. All of the articles appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Religion.
