Synopsis

This is a textbook with an international slant, blending established and young experts, and covering a much wider, and less historical, focus than The Study of Liturgy (SPCK, 1992). This reflects the way the subject has changed, from one based upon a historical narrative to one drawing additionally on the social sciences. This new Guide draws upon the valuable approach contained in the old book - short accessible chapters by leading liturgical scholars, which provide sufficient introduction to a topic and advice on further research.

Review:

"To the credit of the editors, these essays unfold with a single ‘voice’ without detracting from individual author's experiences and convictions. Each essay is essentially pastoral, urging the students and reader to work diligently toward improving already excellent liturgical worship, or renew a commitment to seek a celebration of liturgy that is more consistent with liturgy's end: to make present in our here and now the saving mystery of Christ."Joyce Ann Zimmerman, CPPS, Worship
