Worshiping in one's native tongue continues to be of issue as the churches debate over what type of vernacular should be employed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDynamic Equivalence\u003c\/i\u003e traces the history of liturgical language in the Western Christian tradition as a dynamic and living reality. Particular attention is paid to the twentieth century Vernacular Society within the United States and how the vernacular issue was treated at Vatican II, especially within an ecumenical context. \u003cbr\u003e The first chapter offers a short history of the vernacular from the first century through the twentieth. The second and third chapters contain a significant amount of archival material, much of which has never been published before. These chapters tell the story of a mixed group of Catholic laity and clergy dedicated to promoting the vernacular during the first half of the twentieth century. Chapter Four begins with a survey of vernacular promotion in the Reformation itself, explores the issue of vernacular worship as an instrument of ecumenical hospitality and concludes with some examples of ecumenical liturgical cooperation in the years immediately preceding the Council. The final chapter treats the vernacular debate at the Council with attention to the Vernacular Society's role in helping with theimplementation of the vernacular. \u003cbr\u003e Chapters are \"A Brief History of the Vernacular,\" \"The Origins of the Vernacular Society: 1946-1956,\" \"Pressure for the Vernacular Mounts: 1956-1962,\" \"Vernacular Worship and Ecumenical Exchange,\" \"Vatican II and the Vindication of the Vernacular: 1962-1965\" \u003cbr\u003e Keith F.
