History of liturgical prayer

Mainly this book is about vocal or liturgical prayer, how the forms developed, and how different phases of Christian history have influenced prayer. I'd describe it as a "masterful" book. The author has an astonishingly wide knowledge of the subject matter, and yet he expresses himself succinctly, observing the broad themes while at the same time citing specific and detailed examples. It was just the right length for me, too.
