ISBN 10: 1009421743 ISBN 13: 9781009421744

New Hardcover

Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Studies in Church History 59 addresses the historical development of life events to which the churches have responded with specific rites and ceremonies. The volume contributes to current discussion in life cycle history and the ongoing debate about 'rites of passage,' both ecclesiastical and secular. The major life cycle events, such as birth, marriage and death, are considered; so too are the churching or 'purification' of women after childbirth, confirmation and first communion, and ordination, as well as less widespread rites of passage, such as royal anointing and the renunciation of wealth. The twenty-two papers span Christian history and include contributions from Frances Knight, Thomas O'Loughlin, Elisabeth van Houts and Alexandra Walsham. Taken together, the articles offer clear evidence of the continuing potency of ecclesiastical rites of passage, as well as of their ability to be refashioned for the needs of successive generations of believers. This volume addresses the historical development of life events to which the churches have responded with specific rites and ceremonies, contributing to debates on life cycle history and 'rites of passage.' The articles offer clear evidence of the potency of ecclesiastical rites of passage and of their ability to be refashioned over time.
