Sacraments and Worship

"Johnson invites the reader to explore this rich heritage of Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant liturgical traditions. Particularly valuable in this collection are contributions by contemporary liturgical theologians offering new perspectives on the worship praxis of the churches. Sacraments and Worship should be on the desk of every scholar, pastor and church leader who is committed to effective, faithful, and ecumenically-aware worship today." Karen Westerfield Tucker, Professor of Worship, Boston University "Students and teachers of the history of Christian worship alike will have occasion to be grateful to Maxwell Johnson for assembling this magnificent and wide-ranging collection of extracts from primary sources, many otherwise not easy to obtain and some translated into English for the first time. It should have pride of place as a reference work on their bookshelves for very many years to come." Paul F. Bradshaw, Professor of Liturgy, University of Notre Dame
