In What’s the Smoke For? expert liturgist Johan van Parys offers helpful and engaging answers. Based on church teaching and rooted in sound theology, Johan’s responses invite inquiring minds to continue to think about what is happening in the church and to be engaged in learning more about liturgy and the arts.

“Johan van Parys uses an engaging and simple question-and-answer format to teach basic liturgical theology and provide historical background for the art and architecture, rituals and symbols, prayers and practices of the Catholic Church. This book demonstrates that Catholic liturgy was never unchanging, but has always been shaped by particular historical eras with their varied spiritualties and cultures. The author’s personal memories will help readers to experience vicariously some of the liturgical rituals with which they may not be familiar.” Delores Dufner, a member of St. Benedict’s Monastery in St. Joseph, MN, is a widely published author of liturgical hymn texts
