\nThe\u00a0Study Guide to Catholic Liturgy, published by SCM Press<\/a>, has been a project the Liturgy Formation Subcommittee of the Department for Christian Life and\u00a0Worship. It was recognised that an introductory ‘text book’ to Liturgy would be useful in many areas of\u00a0the Church’s life, including those preparing for ordination, priestly and diaconal, lay liturgical ministers, catechists and teachers in Catholic schools. The book is intended to offer a foundation in Catholic liturgy through a consideration of key principles and then an exploration of the Sacraments and other rites of\u00a0the Church. The subcommittee drew together liturgists and theologians with academic and pastoral backgrounds. This is reflected in the text which offers both a grounding in\u00a0the theology of each rite also looks at the celebration of the liturgy and some of\u00a0the pastoral issues which arise. Each chapter contains Questions for Reflection and the book concludes with a Glossary and a Further reading list.<\/p>\n

To support the text there is a dedicated part of\u00a0the Liturgy Office website:\u00a0Study Guide to Catholic Liturgy<\/a><\/p>\n

There is also a podcast introduction<\/a> to\u00a0the book with Bishop Alan Hopes, Martin Foster and Peter McGrail.<\/p>\n

The contents of\u00a0the book are:<\/p>\n
