Liturgical
Theology
Course Home
During this weekend, we studied (1) the development of liturgical and sacramental theology and practice in the ancient Christian period, (2) the development of liturgical books from the middle ages to the present, and (3) the development of movements for liturgical reform from the modern period to the present. In three brief essays of one page each, summarize the most significant developments withinin each of these three topics. Note: the most difficult part of this assignment will be narrowing down all of the information from the weekend and singling out the most important or more generally influential developments for inclusion into these very brief essays.
Due: 11:59 p.m. on Monday 19 December 2011, via email attachment. Be sure your name on the essay, and please include any title pages, bibliographies, or other materials in one file with the main paper. Please label the email "Liturgical Theology II Exam."
