Shows what liturgy and worship are about, the zone in which as Louis-Marie Chauvet has said, "the Word of God puts Godself at the mercy of the body."

Nathan Mitchell's book is at once an introduction to liturgy, worship, and sacraments for beginners and an adventure that guides one to the place where ritual and silence reveal God's surprising self and the human soul is moved to pray in a spirit of awe and love. Mitchell knows that large numbers of Christians have lost interest in worship: to recover those depths is to learn that worship can surprise and lead us to the divine depths of creation.

This he does in chapters that deal with:
1. Ritual and human identity
2. Christian ritual and religious pluralism
3. The authority of liturgy in a world of religious pluralism
4. The liturgy of the church and the liturgy "of the world"
5. The polyphony of Word and Sacrament
