Trade Review
[The T&T Clark Companion to Liturgy] offers a comprehensive overview of current liturgical issues ... [and] it does so in a scholarly yet accessible way, allowing a voice to contrary arguments. It is undoubtedly a required resource for liturgy studies. * Catholic Herald *
One of the most detailed, academic and up-to-date accounts of Roman Catholic worship I have come across. All the contributions are of a high scholarship and precise notes and extensive bibliographies accompany all the entries. It brings together a formidable group of liturgical experts ... I recommend it unhesitatingly. * Journal of Theological Studies *
[T]he book exemplifies a noble seriousness of purpose, a depth of intellectual engagement, and a pastoral concern with the health of the Western liturgy that makes it an essential reference work for consultation on the host of topics taken up in its pages. * New Liturgical Movement *
Immensely scholarly, with nearly 1400 footnotes, this is a book for research students. * Theology *
Dom Alcuin Reid has combined a wide variety of sources into a wide-ranging reference book on the liturgy. It provides both a comprehensive introduction and plenty of direction for further exploration. * Dominicana *
The work as a whole, with full use of the A-Z, comes well within the capabilities of the keen student. The historical material is presented and arranged consistently and clearly, supported by extensive further reading, and with an eye on implications for current research and religious practice ... Finally, the A-Z not only includes many helpful terms but also a good short listing of further reference works, and these will interest librarians. * Reference Reviews *
