Worship in Medieval England by Matthew Cheung Salisbury
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.4 MB
Overview: The study of medieval liturgy can tell us a great deal not only about the worship of the church, but also about the people who practised it. However, existing scholarship can be problematic and difficult to use.
This short book aims to unsettle the notion that liturgiology is a mysterious, abstruse, and monolithic discipline. It challenges some scholarly orthodoxies, hints at the complexity of the liturgy and shows that it needs to be examined in new and different ways.
“The fresh way of thinking about liturgical books which Salisbury announces in his introduction (English liturgical books, but much of what he writes is applicable to books of other areas as well) and which he practises successfully in the main text, is to be welcomed. Salisbury adopts a sensible, no-nonsense style which is refreshing. The booklet is provocative without being polemical.” – Prof. David Hiley
