Liturgy and Worship:
The arena in which God meets us, as it were, face to face. Books listed here focus on the history of liturgy (Gregory Dix’s classic Shape of the Liturgy), the theology of liturgy (Schmemann’s Introduction to Liturgical Theology) and the development of music in liturgy (Quasten’s Music and History in Pagan and Christian Antiquity).
In this companion volume to The Beauty of the Eucharist, Father Dennis Billy examines the eucharistic teaching and contribution of twenty-six saints and mystics from the church's past. Some taught with conviction from pulpit or classroom. Others showed a pastor's concern for hungering souls. Still others searched the mystical depths of the sacrament and the everlasting union with God it foreshadows. Lastly, voices from more recent times have urged us to see in the Eucharist a powerful force for social change and personal transformation, for compassion and peace. Together, these form a moving ...

Central to the lives of the religiously committed are not simply religious convictions but also religious practices. The religiously committed, for example, regularly assemble to engage in religious rites, including corporate liturgical worship. Although the participation in liturgy is central to the religious lives of many, few philosophers have given it attention. In this collection of essays, Terence Cuneo turns his attention to liturgy, contending that the topic proves itself to be philosophically rich and rewarding. Taking the liturgical practices of Eastern Christianity as its focal poin... View More...
Father Dalen writes about the concrete ways in which the Roman Catholic Church has dealt with sinners in its midst, assisting them to live out the implications of their baptismal conversion and recognizing them once more as members of its assemblies. He studies the underlying mystery of the Church in relation to Christ and the sinner through the forms this sacrament has taken in the past to help illustrate how the Church can exercise the ministry of reconciliation both now and in the future.
A justly famous study of the variegated symbolism of the sacramental mysteries, especially the Eucharist and Baptism. Danielou's method is first to review the patristic interpretation of a subject and then turn to trace that interpretation back to biblical roots. An education which will profoundly deepen one's understanding and experience of the liturgy. 372 pp. View More...

Although numerous studies have examined biblical and theological rationales for using the visual arts in worship, this book by Lisa J. DeBoer fills in a piece of the picture missing so far -- the social dimensions of both our churches and the various art worlds represented in our congregations. The first part of the book looks at Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and Protestantism in turn -- including case studies of specific congregations -- showing how each tradition's use of the visual arts reveals an underlying ecclesiology. DeBoer then focuses on six themes that emerge when Orthodox, Catholic, and... View More...
A collection of primary liturgical texts from the beginnings of Christianity to the fifth century. The dazzling varieties and continuities of these ancient liturgies with our own are evident from this collection. The editor's comments, though minimal, are helpful. But little commentary is needed. The texts, unadorned, speak with their own pristine power. 307 pp. View More...
