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.

Industry Reviews

The ten essays, all but one written between 2010 and 2012, testify to Bishop Stephen Platten's passion for liturgy which, through its shape, momentum and richness of language and symbol, makes a pattern capable of forming worshippers into the likeness of Christ. ... Platten's questing intellect and wide reading shine through this collection. Rational good sense and creative insight walk hand-in-hand, sometimes not quite in step, and unanswered questions remain. But the fact that they have been asked, and that liturgy, society and politics have been brought into animated conversation, is a service to Church and world.
