About This Book

Liturgy forms both individuals and the community in the faith and life of the Christian gospel. Animating Liturgy invites you to consider the liturgical offering which stands at the heart of the Christian faith. It brings together essays by liturgist Stephen Platten which take us in three main directions:

  • the sacraments, their history and their celebration
  • liturgical history, study and practice
  • general theological, practical and ethical aspects of liturgy

The essays integrate our understanding and practice of the liturgy and in doing so offer insights to a broad range of readers, from theological students to lay people who wish to understand something of the background of daily and weekly worship.
