Publisher's Synopsis
Origines Eucharisticae is a comprehensive study of the liturgy, particularly the Eucharist, using recently published documents from the early Christian era. Written in 1908 by Alfred Edward Alston, the book provides a detailed analysis of the origins and development of the Eucharistic liturgy, including its various forms and practices in different regions of the Christian world. Alston examines the historical and theological context of the Eucharist, tracing its roots in the Jewish Passover and exploring its significance as a central sacrament of the Christian faith. He also considers the influence of liturgical texts and rituals on the development of Christian theology and spirituality. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of liturgical history and theology, as well as for anyone interested in the history of Christian worship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
