Publisher's Synopsis
In recent years scholars have paid increasing attention to the richness and diversity of North American contributions to Christian worship. This volume of articles by James F. White summarizes a major segment of liturgical history (1955-1995). Characteristic North American emphases, such as liturgy and justice, are highlighted along with other issues growing out of the worship context of the New World. James F. White (1932-2004), who was Professor Emeritus of Liturgical Studies at the University of Notre Dame, devoted his professional life to teaching liturgy and equipping others for this ministry. He was intensely involved in liturgical reform and authored sixteen other books on liturgy.
