Ceremonial of Bishops

Rating:
Summary: Its ok but lacking
Review: I bought this book with the hope that it would be an actual ceremonial, its not. This book only contains parts of ceremonies and prayers and then refers to other texts for the complete ceremony. I did like certain parts of this text but all in all it really lacks the information which the title boasts. If you are looking for a true ceremonial then buy The Rites vol. 2 that particular text has most of the complete ceremonies which the ceremonial of bishops begins. The Rites vol 2 also costs half of this one.

Summary: For all masters of ceremonies for liturgical celebrations
Review: This typical volume is for all who are interested in the proper way to conduct liturgical celebrations. Eventhough the title is 'Ceremonial of Bishops', the contents of this book can also be applied to liturgies at which the bishop does not preside over. Very practical. After studying it, I have learnt just how taken for granted a properly conducted liturgy is in many churches in where I live.
