A Commentary on the Order of Mass of the Roman Missal

A Commentary on the Order of Mass of the Roman Missal gathers the insights of some of todays foremost English-speaking liturgical scholars to aid in understanding this most recent edition of the Order of Mass and its new English translation. Developed under the auspices of the Catholic Academy of Liturgy this commentary was guided by three primary concerns: to situate the promulgation of a new English translation of the Roman Missal historically and theologically; to aid in the pastoral implementation of these texts and rites; to contribute to the ongoing development of vernacular worship for English-speaking Roman Catholics. Contributors include: John Baldovin, Anscar Chupuncgo, Mary Collins, Keith Pecklers, David Power, Joyce Ann Zimmermann
