Review
"It is highly recommended for those who teach liturgy and as a reference book in university level libraries."
Synopsis
This study is part of a series which provides a complete course of liturgical studies in five volumes. The series is offered as a model, source and reference for students of liturgy and liturgical ministry, and is marked by the following traits which differentiate it from its predecessor, "Anamnesis", published by the Pontifical Liturgical Institute. The subjects in the liturgical ordo, history and tradition are examined as sources and components of the theology of liturgy. The handbook pays significant attention to the role played by the human sciences in the liturgy (psycho-sociology, anthropology, linguistics and the arts). Pastoral and spiritual considerations receive appropriate treatment in light of liturgical principles, and general models based on the meaning and purpose of the liturgy are suggested. The materials of the East and the non-Roman West are integrated with the Roman, providing a comprehensive vision of Christian worship.
