Students are introduced to the main literary sources for liturgy and to various methods of approaching them that are found in secondary sources. Focus will be on the primary liturgical documents, although secondary documents pertaining to the liturgy will also be discussed. The time period under consideration extends from the first centuries of Christianity to the Second Vatican Council. Students will review the history of liturgical books and developments in liturgy as a means of more deeply appropriating the tradition that underlies the liturgical books in use today.
