Inspired by Spinks' work, this volume brings together biblical, historical, and theological scholars to discuss the theme of continuity and change in worship.  Its historical range begins with the early church, extends through the Reformation, and concludes with a discussion of issues facing contemporary liturgical reform. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recognition of the fact that Professor Spinks' work has been widely influential in both Europe and the United States, the editors have solicited liturgical perspectives from scholars with international reputations on sides of the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhD Candidate in Liturgical Studies, Universtity of Notre Dame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Rev.
