About This Item
Liturgical Press, January 1986. Paper Back. Very Good. Simply the best book available on the development of the daily prayer of the Church, that ''sanctification of time'' in which the Church is invited to transfigure earthly existence with an anticipation of the ceaseless praise of the age to come. The evolution of Matins, Vespers, and vigils in early Christianity is comprehensively detailed in this learned work, comparable to the work of Bouyer, Jungmann, or Dix on the eucharistic liturgy. 421 pp. Crisp unread copy, owner name inside, almost as new.
