Some basic terms -- More intensive language -- The Lord's remembrancers -- "There was no intercessor" -- The divine response -- Selected liturgical texts: introductory note -- Kyrie eleison -- The Great Synapte and ektene -- The Orationes Solemnes and Deprecatio Gelasii -- Salvator mundi.
Summary:
"The terminology of prayer which has become quasi-technical has its roots in more mundane usage. Therefore, exploration of the use of some of these terms, particularly in secular contexts, may throw light on their meaning in theological contexts. The present work, which has long been in gestation, is offered as a preliminary examination of the language used both of the concept of intercession itself and also of actual liturgical forms employed in the practice of intercession."-- Back cover.
