He discusses the various periods generally with respect to prevailing attitudes and circumstances, then provides detailed examples of specific liturgical services and rites from a wide swath of German-speaking territories. Each volume also includes an appendix on musical movements in and associated with German evangelical liturgical life. Finally, copious footnotes and indexes on names and topics, Scripture verses, hymns, and works cited provide exhaustive means for further research. These volumes represent perhaps the most ready compilation of references to Lutheran worship documents and scholarship prior to World War II, as well as discussions of Lutheran architecture, church furnishings, and liturgical attire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusic and history scholars, along with pastors and church professionals, will appreciate having this source document available in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 845\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.88 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47475886948530,"sku":"9780758677426","price":161.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/b4b38f4e57a9f0cbc9f5dc024b57578b.webp?v=1779177598","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/a-history-of-the-dissolution-of-ancient-liturgical-forms-in-the-lutheran-church-of-germany-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
