SCM Studyguide: Catholic Liturgy by Peter Mcgrail

SCM Studyguide: Catholic Liturgy by Peter Mcgrail

Written by liturgists – pastoral and academic – who make up the Liturgical Formation Sub-Committee of the Department for Christian Life and Worship of the Roman Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, this studyguide offers an introduction to Catholic Liturgy. 
Covering the history, content and debates around the use of liturgy in the Catholic church, each chapter includes points for reflection, end of chapter questions, and an indication of further reading. A book-wide glossary is also provided.

“A remarkable and much-needed bookIt starts with the basics, and goes on to explore the profound depths of the Church’ s Liturgy – as described in theology and expressed in celebration. Beginners in either liturgical ministry or academic study will find they are well supported here. Those who are already old-hands will find a refresher that will encourage them to ‘up their game’! Pope Francis has recently urged the Church to return to the work of liturgical renewal. This book is a great resource for any community or individual ready to rise to the challenge and enrich their participation in the Liturgy and their ministry of the Gospel.” -- Fr Allen Morris
"A great resource because it has so much gathered together in the same volume, and long awaited. It will be very useful for teachers in any school for themselves, as background for RE at all levels, and for examination support. The reflections and questions will be stimulating for adults and students alike." -- Monsignor Kevin McGinnell
"This is an outstanding book and should be de rigueur for seminarians and others studying liturgy, together with those in parishes responsible for worship. Too many books on liturgy get bogged down with endless detail: the editors and contributors have wisely sacrificed this in the interests of accessible clarity, which is what will make it useful for many years." -- Ashley Beck, St Mary’s University, Twickenham * The Pastoral Review, Vol 15, Issue 3 *
