McManus* Jewish Roots of Christian Worship by Aidan Kavanagh, O.S.B. * Sacraments by Bernard Cooke * Reconciliation and Eucharist by Doris Donnelly * Ordination Rites by Alan F. Detscher * Ordination and Women by George H. Tavard * Christian Burial by Julia Upton, R.S.M. * Types of Prayer in the Liturgy by Kathleen Hughes, R.S.C.J. Alphabetical and topical indices, cross referencing and sturdy, durable binding increase the value of this one-of-a-kind reference work.
