THE SEARCH FOR THE ORIGINS OF CHRISTIAN WORSHIP: SOURCES AND METHODS FOR THE STUDY OF EARLY LITURGYJ, by Paul F. Bradshaw Traditional liturgical scholarship has generally been marked by an attempt tofit together the various pieces of evidence for the practice of early Christian worship in such a way as to suggest that a single, coherent line of evolution can be traced from the Apostolic Age to the 4th century. Paul Bradshaw examines this methodology in the light of recent developments in Jewish liturgical scholarship, of current trends in New Testament studies, and of the nature of the source documents themselves, and especially the ancient church orders. In its place he offers a guide to Christian liturgical origins which adopt a much more cautious approach, recognizing the limitations of what can truly be known, and takes seriously the clues pointing to the essentially variegated character of ancinet Christian worship. 244pp
