Synopsis

This book presents a collaborative scholarly examination of the principles of liturgical revisions. It argues that although liturgical form should be conservative by nature, change is sometimes needed to avoid the obsolete and to provide variety. At the same time, arbitrary changes and sweeping revisions should also be avoided. The author examines the development of various liturgical practices through history, with an eye to identifying principles and practices that have stood the test of time. He also looks at various misapplications and unsuccessful changes to the liturgy and discusses how such situations can be avoided in future. This book delves into a complex subject to explore the delicate balance between liturgical continuity and adaptation. It is an essential text for anyone interested in the development of the liturgy, and a valuable resource for those considering future revisions.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
