The Study of Liturgy
"Very usable for a course in Liturgy. It is one of the most comprehensive texts that has come across my desk. In a multi-cultural, multi-national campus, the ecumenical inclusion is most helpful."--Sister Nivard Stabile, St. John's University"An excellent overview for those beginning graduate studies in theology."--Herbert Ryan, Loyola Marymount University"Addresses most fully precisely those topics treated most lightly in Lutheran Worship: History and Practice... The reason to buy this book is the 500-page discussion in the middle, accurately and sensitively presented..."--Issues in Christian Education"An excellent resource for theological seminary classes. Students especially appreciate the listing of resources (bibliography) at the beginning of chapters. Challenging, thorough, but easy reading. Clear and concise."--Melva Wilson, Interdenominational Theological Center"A superb resource for students of the history and current issues of liturgy."--Michael Warren, St. John's University"Best text I have seen available for a college course on the liturgy."--Robert B. Fisher, Xavier University of Louisiana"Lives up to the high standards of the series!"--Richard Kieckhefer, Northwestern University"Provides excellent historical and theological material.  I will find it particularly useful in giving a comparative ecumenical background."--M. McGlone, Avila College"One of the finest one-volume works on the liturgy available today. The high standard of all the contributions, and the ecumenicity of outlook serve a beginner in the field well."--Mark R. Francis, Catholic Theological Union"Ecumenical overview of development of liturgy over the centuries--points student to the primary texts and provides current bibliographies....Would have a wide appeal."--Sr. Madeleine Grace, University of St. Thomas
