Dom Gregory Dix was an Anglican Benedictine Monk of Nashdom and an outstanding scholar with an international reputation. The Shape of the Liturgy was his masterpiece.
'a new edition of a classic book...a helpful introduction 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 Liturgy Tutor, Ripon
College Cuddesdon
*Praxis News of Worship - Phillip Tovey*
"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." Stephen Burns, Charles
Sturt University, Australia, Anaphora
'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
*Times Literary Supplement*
'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,
*Worship*
