Publisher's Synopsis
The Liturgy and Ritual of the Ante Nicene Church is a book written by Frederick E. Warren. It provides a detailed exploration of the liturgical and ritual practices of the early Christian Church before the Nicene Creed was established. The book examines the development of Christian worship, including the use of hymns, prayers, and sacraments, and how these practices were influenced by the cultural and religious traditions of the time. The author also discusses the role of the bishop and the clergy in leading these liturgical services, as well as the involvement of the laity in the worship experience. This book is an excellent resource for scholars and students of early Christian history and theology, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christian worship.1897.
