SCM Studyguide: Liturgy, 2nd Edition: Liturgy: 2nd edition

by Stephen Burns

The SCM Studyguide: Liturgy, 2nd Edition is an introduction to liturgy that considers the basic 'buliding blocks' needed to grasp the subject area. It outlines the essential shape and content of Christian worship and explores a range of liturgical dynamics of which both students of liturgy and leaders of liturgy need to be aware.

This 2nd edition of the popular Studyguide is fully revised, updated and expanded. The book takes account of new developments in scholarship, engages with new contexts for liturgical celebration (notably, fresh expressions as part of a mixed economy of church), encompasses recent revisions in liturgy and seeks to broaden the engagement beyond the British context to consider the wider global context.

Reviews

[Stephen Dufton · Rating 4 out of 5]

readable, useful and interesting. The book is 'strongly committed' to the vision of the liturgical movement, so it comes with a sales pitch.
