Introduction to Christian Liturgy

Short review: this would make a good introductory text for a MDiv worship class. The main focus is on how a variety of traditions within the various Christian streams work liturgically. It can be a bit dry because it is essentially fleshed out lists. The catholics handle the church year in this method, the orthodox in this method, presbyterians in this method, lutherans, low church baptists, etc.

It is helpful for historical development of many parts of the liturgy and for breaking down parts of the liturgy to understand how those components came to be ordered.

It is not super engaging, but it is helpful. And it well arranged so you can use it as as reference and dip in and out of areas that are of particular interest.
