Romano Guardini
Known for his writings on the liturgy, his profound meditation on Jesus Christ, and as a spiritual, intellectual, and cultural guide, Guardini has much to say about liturgy today.
A History of Preaching Volume 1
A History of Preaching brings together narrative history and primary sources to provide the most comprehensive guide available to the story of the church's ministry of proclamation. Bringing together an impressive array of familiar and lesser-known figures, Edwards paints a detailed, compelling picture of what it has meant to preach the gospel. Pastors, scholars, and students of homiletics will find here many opportunities to enrich their understanding and practice of preaching. Volume 1 contains Edwards's magisterial retelling of the story of Christian preaching's development from its Hellenistic and Jewish roots in the New Testament, through the late-twentieth century's discontent with out...
The Organic Development of the Liturgy
How has the Liturgy of the Roman rite developed and changed in history before and after the Council of Trent? What principles have determined the boundaries of legitimate liturgical reform over the centuries? What was the Liturgical Movement? Did Guéranger, Beauduin, Guardini, Parsch, Casel, Bugnini, Jungmann, Bouyer and the Movement's other leaders know and respect these principles? And what is to be said of the not insignificant liturgical reforms carried out by Saint Pius X, Popes Pius IX and Pius XII and Blessed John XXIII in the course of the twentieth century? In The Organic Development of the Liturgy, Dom Alcuin Reid examines these questions systematically, incisively and in depth, identifying both the content and context of the principle of "organic development"-a fundamental principle of liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium-making a significant contribution to the understanding of the nature of the Liturgical Movement and to the ongoing re-assessment of the reforms enacted following the Council.
A History of Preaching
Accompanying CD-ROM contains the full text of volume one and two. Volume two contains primary source material on preaching drawn from the entire scope of the church's twenty centuries. Each chapter in volume two is geared to its companion chapter in volume one's narrative history.

And with Your Spirit Appreciating the New Words of the Holy Mass
Catholics of the English-speaking world have had to relearn the responses at Mass and retune their ears to the prayers the priest says on their behalf. The results have been frustrating, fascinating, and rewarding. But how do we make new words our words? The former translation, in use for decades, had become a part of us. Is there anything else we can do besides wait for the new words to take root? Yes. You can read Virgilio T. J. Suerte Felipes book, Appreciating the New Words of the Holy Mass in the Year of Faith. Virgilio takes the reader through the principal changes to the words that stay the same from week to week, the structure known as the Order of Mass. His in-depth commentary never leaves the reader behind. He sheds light on new phrases, enthusiastically uncovering the riches of the Catholic liturgy. Readers will come away with a greater appreciation for the richness of their Catholic heritage, the community they form when they worship, and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which transcends every language. ? Paul Turner, author of Understanding the Revised Mass Texts and At the Supper of the Lamb: A Pastoral and Theological Commentary on the Mass
An Architecture of Immanence
Torgerson begins by discussing God's transcendence and immanence and showing how church architecture has traditionally interpreted these key concepts. He then traces the theological roots of immanence's priority from liberal theology and liturgical innovation to modern architecture. Next, Torgerson illustrates this new architecture of immanence through particular practitioners, focusing especially on the work of theologically savvy architect Edward Anders Sövik. Finally, he addresses the future of church architecture as congregations are buffeted by the twin forces of liturgical change and postmodernism.
We Give Our Thanks Unto Thee
Fr. Alexander Schmemann continues to influence liturgical and sacramental theologies some thirty-five years after his death. Despite the wide acceptance within Protestant circles of his timeless classic, For the Life of the World, there has been relatively little written about him from an ecumenical context. This volume of collected essays seeks to explore his theological legacy and further his work. With essays from leading scholars such as David Fagerberg, Bruce Morrill, Joyce Zimmerman, and more, this volume is meant for both teachers and students of liturgical and sacramental theology. In an effort to introduce Schmemann to a wider audience and to celebrate his work through meaningful en...
Worship in Transition
This much needed study defines and explains the very many changes in liturgy and worship that have swept Christian churches in the twentieth century. Students of liturgy and church history have hitherto had to search many different sources and tradition in order to gain an understanding of the revolution in worship that has occurred in the church throughout the world. In this work the authors highlight the interdependence of such developments in all the major churches - Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Protestant, and Pentecostal - and in places as far apart as Africa, Europe, India, and North America. The result is a fascinating and wide-ranging study of a subject that touches the lives of all Christians.
The Liturgy Documents, Volume Two

This second edition now includes the praenotanda from the sacramental rites, along with additional documents needed to prepare the Mass, blessings, and the Sacred Paschal Triduum. A pastoral overview introduces each document, explaining the purpose of the document, the degree of its authority, and its practical implications. With an extensive index and a glossary of terms, this volume is designed for easy navigation and frequent reference.
