Media Reviews

Missiologists, theological students and enthusiastic ministers will find this book challenging and rich in resources. WORLD MISSION, October 2004 The publication of this book (...) is a most welcome event. The older volume was already highly respected as an esxellent reference tool for students of worship. The pluses that this new, considerably revised edition brings are numerous. (...) the ecumenical dimension of the work has been broadened and strengthened. (...) The dictionary is presented very neatly and is quite easy to use, with cross-references and alternative or equivalent terms being cross-indexed. All of these characteristics make this an outstanding resource for consultation, and to introduce students to the riches of worship and liturgy not only of the Christian churches and beyond, but of ohter religions as well. James F. Puglisi, THE ECUMENICAL REVIEW, July 2004. This excellent work of reference is for the shelves of general theological and public libraries, and for the individual scholar and student . M.McN. Heythrop Journal, December 2005.
