Liturgy, Order and the Law

Zusatztext 'The book is full of detailed footnotes...provides a mine of information about what may be regarded as lawful and what is not...implicitlu argues a case for the need to keep liturgical text and context within reasonable bounds. As a reference book, it ought to be available to many clergy and worship-leaders...this gaunt-sounding but imaginative tome will prove useful.'

Zusammenfassung Exploring the degree to which liturgical law is correctly understood and applied, this study describes and analyzes a wide range of topics. It provides not merely a statement of legal principles, but also a discussion of the relevant law and its developments.
