This is the second title in a series of five volumes by outstanding authors in the field that will provide a major new study of Eucharistic spirituality and liturgical formation.

With many new rites recently introduced or in development, the time is opportune for a fresh look at Eucharistic theology and practice.

The second volume focuses on the liturgy of the word and our engagement with scripture through reading and preaching.

In simple, non-technical language leading writers in the field get to the heart of the matter and provide invaluable guidance to clergy, ordinands, Eucharistic ministers, study groups and individuals who wish to understand the Eucharist more fully.

Subsequent volumes will focus on Engaging with Scripture, Entering into Communion, Modes and Moods of Prayer and Celebrating the Christian Year.
