Description

Whereas many studies suggest or presuppose some link between Christian liturgical origins and the practices of Judaism the Jewish sources are hard to find and understand for Christian students without any background in early Judaism and its literature. This book presents some of the relevant sources in clear English, with accompanying material which sets the sources in their context and introduces the student to the debate about the relationship between Jewish and early Christian liturgy. Contents Preface 1. The birkath haMinim and the parting of the ways 2. The synagogue and the church as forming institutions 3. Ordination 4. Corporate prayer 5. Immersions and purifications 6. Reading and preaching 7. Pascha and Passover 8. The Sabbath 9. Meals and Graces Appendix: Index of passages
