Passion and resurrection

All the texts needed for this greatest of weeks in the liturgical year and Easter Sunday, according to the use of New Skete. A much-needed, sensible reform of these services, their structure, hymnography, psalmody, and scripture readings, based on scholarly research and pastoral experience. A 76-page introduction discusses the need for such work of renewal in all of church life and the problems involved in pursuing it; an explanation and description of the services for each of these days; and a discussion of the lectionary for the week. The liturgical texts are rendered in clear, literary-quality modern American English that captures the power of these celebrations and makes these texts as eminently worthy of musical expression today as were the originals in their day.
