The New Westminster Dictionary of Liturgy and WorshipPaul F. Bradshaw This distinguished and comprehensive dictionary should stand as the definitive reference work on all aspects of liturgical practice and belief for many years to come. While maintaining the best traditions of Westminster's dictionaries, it also supersedes and replaces its predecessor edited by J. G. Davies and first published in 1986. |
