Reviews for Praying Shapes Believing: A Theological Commentary on the Book of Common Prayer, Revised Edition

""Lee Mitchell's Praying Shapes Believing has been standard fare in seminary classrooms since its appearance. Its influence has been incalculable. In recent years, as part of the church's on-going liturgical renewal, the book has needed updating, particularly in light of new research, new insights, and new trends in liturgical understanding. Ruth Meyers has done a wonderful job of giving Mitchell's work new life for another generation or more of students of the liturgy."" —J. Neil Alexander, Dean of the School of Theology and Professor of Liturgy, Sewanee ""Leonel L. Mitchell's classic work remains an important resource for the church thanks to the considerable, careful, and respectful work of Ruth Meyers in her gentle update of his text. I have assigned Praying Shapes Believing to new seminary students every year that I have taught. I will continue to do so, confident in its renewed accuracy and relevance.” —Nathan Jennings, Associate Professor of Liturgics and Anglican Studies at the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin
