- Notes
- "[By] Paul Victor Marshall".
- Includes bibliographical references (p. 267-274) and index.
- "The consequences of these discoveries is that a separate work needs to be devoted to Bishop Seabury and the liturgical and constitutional crises of 1784 through 1790, and that the other revisions receive treatment later. This brought a final surprise: There emerged a great deal to admire about an unpopular person whose politics and liturgical theology many have portrayed as unhelpful, eccentric, or dangerous. .... Over the past three centuries, formal liturgical studies have been primarily concerned with the evolution of texts, for good reason. On that foundation scholars have been able to ask more complex questions. The present work is undertaken in the belief that circumstances and processes count as much as texts in understanding the development of Christian liturgy, and that consideration of these factors is a basic and essential task in historical treatments of the liturgy". -- Preface.
