Pocket Dictionary of Liturgy & Worship
Overview
Today there is a rising tide of interest in worship and a renewed study of the church’s heritage of liturgy. But as students quickly learn, there are numerous terms, texts, and traditions for which regular dictionaries and even theological dictionaries are no help. The Pocket Dictionary of Liturgy and Worship is a quick-reference guide for students engaged in readings and lectures as well as for leaders of worship and liturgy who want to renew, check, or expand their knowledge. The range of topics includes: altar call and benediction, baptism and Eucharist, kneeling and sign of the cross, and All Saints’ Day and Easter.
