Do this in Remembrance of Me
Bryan Spinks is one of the world’s leading scholars in the field of liturgy and to have a comprehensive work by him on the Eucharist is a major catch for SCM. Like the author’s previous work on Baptism, this will become a standard work about the Eucharist and Eucharistic theology worldwide. The book, a study of the history and theology of the Eucharist, is the fifth volume in the SCM Studies in Worship and Liturgy series and will help to establish the series as a place for landmark books of liturgical scholarship.
Cyril of Jerusalem, Mystagogue
After centuries of unresolved dispute over the question of whether the Mystagogic Catecheses belongs among the works of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, this book finally settles the controversy. These post-baptismal Easter sermons are a prized witness to the way the rites of initiation (baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist) were celebrated in fourth-century Jerusalem and for the rich sacramental theology they contain. Uncertain authorship has prevented the text from being fully appreciated as an integral part of Cyril's works. Cyril's reputation as a catechist is time-honored, and his Baptismal Catecheses has served as an invaluable source of early Church doctrine and practice. Scholars can now conf...
Comfortable Words
Leading historical and liturgical scholars reflect on the history and impact of Book of Common Prayer, the most important liturgical text in English.
Time, Consciousness and Writing
Time, Consciousness and Writing collects some of Peter Malekin’s essential writings on consciousness, theatre and literature, and eleven critical reflections on this body of work and its implications for the humanities.
Eucharist and Ecumenism
Most Christians worship on a regular basis on the Lord's Day. They have done so from the beginning, and their worship has centered on the Eucharist, following Jesus's words, "Do this in remembrance of me." Over the two millennia of the Christian tradition there have been shifts of emphasis and understanding about the Eucharist. This book attempts to point out, by providing accessible accounts of both liturgies and liturgists across the centuries and traditions, just how much different Christians have in common and how they can benefit from attending to one another's worship. The author's ultimate hope is that in its small way, the book will contribute to Christians worshiping together.
Liturgical Snapshots
Offers an in-depth, ¿right-brain¿ approach to liturgical theology.
Entering the Household of God
Every priest and minister knows there is more, much more, to baptism than a brief ceremony. The Book of Common Prayer makes it very clear that parents and godparents have a duty "to help the new Christians grow in the knowledge and love of God, and in their responsibilities as members of his Church." But, in this post-modern, post-Christian world, how does a parish priest overcome the obstacles our culture puts in the way of carrying out this task? Fortunately, the Rev. Claudia A. Dickson has made a study of the gifts and responsibilities that are both implicit and explicit in the rite of baptism. And she has distilled her study into this helpful and succinct volume. You will find a basic history of baptism, followed by suggested plans for study sessions for parents, godparents, candidates, or individuals preparing to renew their baptismal vows. Questions for discussion and simple group exercises are designed to ensure lively conversation and, at the same time, to ensure that participants have a solid sense of the implications of the baptismal rite. Throughout the discussion, there are useful cross-references to the Service of Holy Baptism, which is reprinted in this volume.
