Lang, Bernhard 1946-

Sacred Games A history of Christian worship Bernhard Lang - U.S.A. Yale University Press 1997 - 527tr. Hardcover, illustrations 24 cm

Professor Bernhard Lang argues that the meaning of Christian ritual is embodied in six elementary forms, all of which have their roots in ancient, pre-Christian ritual. Well illustrated, written in a readable style, and geared to the general reader as well as to students and scholars, this pioneering work should become an indispensable addition to the broader study of Christianity.
