Synopsis

Different paths of devotion: how Rome and England shape public worship and the sense of antiquity.

The author compares Roman Catholic practice in Paris and Rome with English Anglican usage to reveal how tradition, liturgy, and daily prayer shape faith. This edition examines what a modern observer can learn by looking at convent life, the Breviary, and the experience of the common worshipper. It offers a clear, measured look at the origins and evolution of prayer offices, and what they mean for believers today.

  • Insight into how daily services have been organized and consolidated over time.
  • Observations on the contrast between ancient practice and modern ritual in Rome.
  • Discussion of Antiquity in the Anglican tradition versus contemporary Roman ritual.
  • Context for readers interested in church history, liturgy, and ecumenical dialogue.
Ideal for readers of church history, Anglican studies, and liturgical history who want a thoughtful, comparative perspective.
