Publisher's Synopsis
In a major updating of a classic text, Procter-Smith offers us the foundational work in feminist liturgical study that made this book a standard at its first publication. Procter-Smith addresses the benefits of and necessity for dialogue between the liturgical and feminist fields of study. She grounds the reader in "liturgical fundamentals: meaning and imagination in liturgy," through her exploration of such basic liturgical issues as language (verbal, physical and visual), God-talk, preaching and the role of the Bible, and the sacraments.
