The Death of a Christian: The Order of Christian Funerals (Studies in the Reformed Rites of the Church)

Father Rutherford has thoroughly revised The Death of a Christian, his popular study, to reflect the Order of Christian Funerals (1989). Pastors, educators, seminarians, and divinity school students will find this a major work for study and pastoral guidance in the exercise of their ministries.
