Synopsis
Distinguished liturgical historian and theologian Frank Senn here ventures behind the liturgical screen, behind the texts, and behind the rubrics to reconstruct the everyday religious expression in Christian history. Senn's magisterial Christian Liturgy: Catholic and Evangelical (1997) has been widely hailed not only for its comprehensive treatment of Christian liturgy in all ages and communions but also for its appreciation of the dynamic role of culture in shaping liturgical expression. In The People's Work, Senn delves further into the cultural home of liturgy, judiciously and insightfully looking at processions and pilgrimage, communion practices and spiritual reading, fasting and feasting - all the myriad liturgical practices that have been the concrete life and primary work of the body of Christ.

From the Publisher
Endorsements: "Thanks be to God! Senn has turned his encyclopedic mind and wit to the dynamic of God's people at worship, moving liturgical studies into the camp long inhabited by biblical studies, drawing on the social sciences and cultural anthropology. Weaving a prodigious witness from the cultural and socio-political forces impacting the worshiping community throughout Judeo- Christian history, Senn charts the lively, often elusive, but always creative interchange between the faith community and the world it is called to inhabit.... In an era of liturgical foment, the author offers sage reflection and even words of hope for a Church not always sure of its path yet bearing the promise of the Spirit’s enlivening, anchoring presence in the midst of the upheaval." — Dr. Robert D. Hawkins, Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, Columbia, SC
"This is an important book. We have needed liturgical history to begin to do this work. Reading Senn will make us long for more." — Gordon W. Lathrop, Emeritus, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia
