Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Reshaping the Liturgical Tradition: Ecumenical and Reformed presents a series of essays honoring the work of the late Horace T. Allen, Jr. This volume not only looks back to celebrate the moment of a life, but also around to the present liturgical moment and ahead to emerging developments, flowing from Allen's work, that are leading the Church into the future.

They are compelled to haunt the catacombs, to stalk the saints, to search the archives of antiquity, always trying to tap the wellsprings of our traditions. At the same time, they are called to scan the horizons, to venture into the unknown, to entrust themselves to the future, always hungering for the heavenly banquet.'So too in this Festschrift.
