Uwe Michael Lang has produced a tightly edited version of the proceedings of the eleventh International Colloquium of the Centre International d'Études Liturgiques (the International Center for Liturgical Studies), held in Merton College, Oxford. Well-known international scholars like Uwe Michael Lang, Eamon Duffy, Gabriel Díaz, Lázló Dobszay, Nicola Bux, Cristina Dondi, Lauren Pristas, Claude Barthe Alcuin Reid, Sheridan Gilley, and Laurence Paul Hemming are contributors who will immediately establish this book's authority and importance in contemporary liturgical study. The Genius of the Roman Rite: Historical, Theological, and Pastoral Perspectives on Catholic Liturgy will certainly be an essential resource for professors and students of the liturgy.
“Here is an authoritative and scholarly justification of the most important issue facing Roman Catholicism at the present time: the performance of its sacred worship. If liturgy, as Hemmings’s chapter suggests, is the lifeblood of all theology and the means by which ‘God comes to be known’, then it is crucial that we investigate its rich history and theology, and demonstrate its power to be pastorally effective.”
—David Torevell,
Theology,
Philosophy and Religious Studies Department,
"...This valuable book, with its contributions from various academic disciplines, will help to promote the spirit of the liturgy, according to the intentions of Pope Benedict XVI."
—Antonio Cardinal Cañizares Llovera
Prefect of the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments
"...As they explore the various aspects of the Roman rite, the contributors to this splendid volume remind us of the celestial dimension of our liturgical celebrations at the same time that they help us to appreciate the theological and spiritual treasures of the liturgical tradition of the Church."
—Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia, OP
Secretary of the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments
"Genius of the Roman Rite: Historical, Theological, and Pastoral Perspectives on Catholic Liturgy, drawing upon the research of scholars from several nations, speaks again to the sources of genuine liturgical renewal. Readers will find their understanding of the history of the Roman liturgy deepened and should therefore find strengthened their common worship of God."
—Francis Cardinal George, OMI
Archbishop of Chicago
