After I had published that course I got the opportunity to follow up with another introductory book, namely on the Liturgy of the Hours (in the broader sense of <em>Divine Office<\/em> as well as the Roman Catholic LoTH after the Second Vatican Council). I do not teach this on a regular basis, but over the years courses on the LoTH were assigned to me at different schools of Catholic Theology in Austria and Germany.<\/p>\n<p>I can hardly imagine a field where the students&#8217; previous knowledge differs as much as here: While religious people and seminarians deal with the Office every day, most lay students have no experience whatsoever with that sort of liturgy since it is almost completely ignored in Catholic parishes. But even those who know the Office from their own experience are mostly unfamiliar with the history and the academic terminology. Hence the course must be very basal.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly there has never been a German introductory book in the post-Conciliar LoTH, all you can find are (mostly short) chapters in general introductions in liturgy. For my students I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/litpress.org\/Products\/1405\/The-Liturgy-Of-The-Hours-In-East-And-West\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Taft&#8217;s \u201cThe Liturgy of the Hours and East and West\u201d<\/a> and Gregory W. Woolfenden&#8217;s \u201cDaily Liturgical Prayer\u201d as the best books in English (with Taft being more sophisticated and Woolfenden a little better-arranged with tables and text samples), but my manuscript had the chance to close a gap for the German market. While the course itself always includes several sources that we read and analyze line by line, the published version became more of a schoolbook for a broader audience.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verlag-pustet.de\/shop\/item\/9783791723969\/liturgie-im-rhythmus-des-tages-von-liborius-olaf-lumma-kartoniertes-buch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lumma-loth-260x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50560\" width=\"231\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lumma-loth-260x400.jpg 260w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lumma-loth-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lumma-loth.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>My basic idea is that one can understand the (Roman Catholic) Office best with a quadruple approach:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the categories of <i>monastic<\/i> and <i>cathedral office,<\/i> which are helpful for understanding the deeper meaning of certain liturgical elements;<\/li>\n<li>a historical overview over the developments mainly in the Latin world;<\/li>\n<li>impressions of different ritual styles that the Office can adopt (mainly its esthetic abundance in Anglican and Byzantine traditions is very little known here);<\/li>\n<li>an idea how Catholic Office could look like if Catholics spent some effort on it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So here is a look at the eleven chapters of the book, mirroring the academic course:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Anthropological and Biblical basics: prayer as a natural expression of religion \u2014 the value of words in the Biblical approach to humanity and prayer \u2014 prayer gestures in the Bible \u2014 directed time: from past to future \u2014 circular time: year, (month,) week, day (and night), hour, breath.<\/li>\n<li>Monastic approach: monasticism in ancient times \u2014 tension between monasticism and ordained offices \u2014 special role of the Bible, mainly the Psalter in monastic spirituality \u2014 John Cassian&#8217;s depiction of monastic Office in Egypt \u2014 continuous reading of the psalms (and the spiritual attitude behind).<\/li>\n<li>Cathedral and mixed approaches: Apostolic Constitutions as an example for the Office in urban congregations \u2014 Egeria&#8217;s depiction of public Office in Jerusalem (times and elements; relation between Liturgy of the Hours and Eucharist).<\/li>\n<li>Development in Latin monasticism: Rule of the Master (here I introduce the entire Latin terminology)\u00a0\u2014 Rule of St. Benedict as a pattern that contains all elements that we need for the following history up to Catholic liturgy today.<\/li>\n<li>Overview up to the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century: Latin liturgy gets more and more focused on the role of the clerics and on the Mass, even in monasteries \u2014 Office turns more and more into a private prayer by clerics, independent from the real course of time \u2014 Angelus and rosary become regular prayers for laypeople \u2014 Council of Trent and the <em>Breviary Romanum <\/em>\u2014 Reform of the Breviary by Pius X.
