Pastoral Liturgy

”In the current situation where so much nostalgia and amnesia reign in many parts of the Church, these reprinted essays of a master historian, theologian, and pastoral strategist are a welcome contribution to the conversation.”--John Baldovin, S.J., Professor of Historical and Liturgical Theology, Boston College

“Joseph Jungmann's Pastoral Liturgy, in some ways a companion to his Mass of the Roman Rite, is a volume that needed to be reissued. Not only does it contain the absolutely essential essay on the development of Christology and Trinitarian theology in relationship to the developing cult of the saints, "The Defeat of Teutonic Arianism and the Revolution in Religious Culture in the Early Middle Ages," but also several other key essays on the Divine Office and the Liturgical Year, which are available nowhere else, are included.”--Max Johnson, Professor of Liturgical Studies, University of Notre Dame

”It is almost impossible to overestimate the impact that Jungmann and his work have had on the liturgical reforms which flowed from the work of the Second Vatican Council, both in preparing the way for these reforms as well as in implementing the directives of the Council's documents.”--Joan Pierce, Professor of Religious Studies, College of the Holy Cross
