Críticas:

"'Wow' is what first bubbled up in me as I leafed through the pages of "The Rationale Divinorum Officiorum," but that isn't a sacred exclamation, so I will change it to 'al-hamdu li'lah.' This is a true treasure. After spending many profitable hours perusing it, I will present it to the Graduate Theological Union library. I never cease being amazed by your productivity." --Huston Smith

Reseña del editor:

Providing the meanings that were originally associated with the art, architecture, rites, and vestments of the Church, this account transforms the worship experience by teaching what certain elements are used and why they are used. Claiming architects should be filled with the spirit of faith and knowledge of the meanings of all structural details and designs of the church, the author illuminates the meanings of the physical elements like the nave, the altar, the cross, and bells. He also clarifies the mystical significance of the chancel site, the glazed windows and pillars, the bell and its clapper, the altar cloths, and how the steps leading up to the altar refer both to Jacob's Ladder and to the degrees in worshippers' hearts.
