Summary:
Cet ouvrage étudie la piété quotidienne, hebdomadaire et annuelle de l'Eglise de Genève, révélant un rythme liturgique qui doit beaucoup à la théologie de Calvin. Il traite des sermons, des sacrements, du mariage, de la piété domestique, du ministère auprès des malades et des mourants. Il met en lumière le développement du chant des psaumes, la liturgie du dimanche après-midi ; il décrit les transformations de l'année liturgique, le développement du jour de prière et le sens providentiel du temps mis en oeuvre. Il ne néglige pas les registres de baptême et de mariage pour montrer comment les actes ecclésiastiques étaient attachés aux sermons. La dimension théologique des pratiques cultuelles genevoises se double de questions d'organisation, telle que la rotation de pasteurs bien formés dans les différentes églises de la ville. C'est le grand mérite du livre d'Elsie McKee de cerner tous ces aspects avec une minutieuse attention.
This book examines the where, when, and what of daily, weekly, and annual corporate worship in Geneva, revealing in rich detail the liturgical rhythm shaped by Calvin's theology. It includes sermons, sacraments, marriage, household devotions, ministry to the sick and dying. Shedding new light on Calvin's pulpit, it uncovers when, where, what he preached, and dates sermons. It clarifies the development of Psalm singing, the Sunday afternoon liturgy; it explains how the liturgical year was transformed and the special Calvinist day of prayer and sense of providential time developed. Extensive research in baptismal and marriage records shows how practice was reshaped because (like the Lord's Supper) these must be celebrated in a preaching service. Daily sermons in every pulpit required both educated ministers and significant planning. The program of ministerial rotation Calvin created adds dimensions to his doctrine of the church and demonstrates afresh his organizational skills.
