Présentation de l'éditeur
Liturgical uses of the Church must -- always be a matter of interest to all churchmen. It has, perhaps, a special interest to us in these days when we are hearing so much of proposals for the revision of the Liturgy of the Church of England. In the consideration of our English Liturgy with a view to such revision we turn very naturally to the Latin use which was the immediate parent of our Prayer Book, and at the same time we are deeply interested in the Liturgies of the Eastern Churches. It may, however, perhaps be questioned as to whether we are not inclined to neglect too much for these comparatively speaking late developments of the Liturgy in East and West, the more homely and less rigid Liturgical uses of the earliest centuries of the Church, those centuries in which the Church was more in touch than she has ever been since with the general life and the every day needs of her members.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Originally published in 1910, this book contains a study of the Eucharistic liturgy used by the Church in the first three hundred years of its existence. Woolley carefully examines the origins and development of the proanaphora and anaphora, and includes in an appendix the original Greek, Coptic, Ethiopic or Latin texts of many of the ancient witnesses of liturgical practice along with an English translation for texts not in Latin or Greek. This book will be of great value to anyone with an interest in the history of Christian liturgy from 'those centuries in which the Church was more in touch than she ever has been since with the general life and the every day needs of her members'.
