Reviews
"This 764 page work was first published in 1945 and has had seven reprintings, the latest being in 2015. This latest edition has been cited 558 times (Google Scholar). ... The book is well worth reading." - Winifred Whelan, St. Bonaventure University (emerita), USA, Catholic Books Review, 'This was the spirit of the Liturgical Movement in probably its finest English literary form. It is certainly no fault of Dix himself that the later liturgical texts he helped to shape have not always been able to communicate so high a degree of fervour.' ~ Glyn Paflin, Times Literary Supplement, 2006, 'a new edition of a classic book...a helpful intrioduction with enough footnotes to help the Dix scholar find his or her way around the literature.' Praxis News of Worship, Phillip Tovey, Director of Reader Training, Diocese of Oxford, and Lturgy Tutor, Rip[on College Cuddesdon, 'if you have never had your own copy of this great classic, here is your opportunity to own a piece of modern liturgical history....If you want to experience the English language in its poetry and beauty you are in for a treat. And, if you want to understand many of the presuppositions that underlie much of modern liturgical renewal, Dix remains required reading.' Worship, Mazwell E. Johnson,, "This is a valuable piece of scholarship that will certainly enrich student learning in one strand of the liturgical curriculum in Anglican contexts...I welcome this book."
