Synopsis

A guided tour of early Christian worship before the first council of Nicaea, with authentic prayers, hymns, and liturgies.

Discover how believers prayed, sang, and celebrated the faith in the ante-Nicene church.

This collection assembles devotional material that can be traced to the early centuries of Christian worship. It presents prayers, hymns, and liturgical forms attributed to sources such as the Epistle of Clement, the Didache, and other ancient Christian writings. Through selections and commentary, readers glimpse the shaping of prayer and ritual before the Nicene era, including voices from Origen to the Canons of Hippolytus and beyond.

What you’ll experience:

• Original prayers and liturgical remnants from the first centuries of Christianity
• Context and notes that connect the texts to early worship practices
• A look at creeds, hymns, and post-baptismal prayers that influenced later rites
• Discussion of practical aspects of early liturgy, such as language, vestments, and ritual actions

Ideal for readers of early Christian history, liturgy, and theological development who want a close look at how worship sounded and worked before Nicaea.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Liturgy and Ritual of the Ante-Nicene Church

It has been attempted to put together in this volume all that is known about the Liturgy and Ritual of the Ante-Nicene Church, so far as such knowledge can be gathered (1) from Holy Scripture; (2) from ecclesiastical writings prior to A.D 325; (3) from scanty surviving liturgical remains; and (4) from a few other sources, e.g. inscriptions, etc.

A chapter has been added dealing with the interesting but difficult question as to how far the worship and ritual of the Christian Church are of Jewish origin, or are modified by Jewish or other non-Christian influence.

It is hoped that from the material accumulated in the following pages, an answer may be found to the important question, 'How far does the Book of Common Prayer o the Church of England retain or reflect primitive usage, both absolutely as regards itself, and relatively, in comparison with the service-books of other parts of Christendom?'
