Our reading area of the decisive references present in the document of Sacrosanctum Concilium; We dene the object of liturgical science with obvious emphasis of the anthropological fact; We present the research promoted by the Council and indicate some models on the epistemological level: the historical and the theological and conclude with a methodology based on the greatest scholars of Christian liturgy of our time.
