Sacred Drama: A Spirituality of Christian Liturgy

Rating:
Summary: disappointing but worth your time
Review: The title implies that this will be a study of liturgy from the perspective of the discipline of drama. To some extent this is true, but more often the perspectice is based on the anthropological studies of ritual. As would be expected from the author's background, the sermon receives significant emphasis.

Some of the author's horror stories of bad liturgy are delightfully memorable. Here and there, there is an understanding specific to the author; in general, however, this is simply one of a group of equally decent introductions to liturgy.
