Through a review of the history of language, Ramshaw illustrates the difficulties of forming texts from words that have undergone numerous translations and whose primary meanings have also changd throughout the centuries. Her discussion of symbolic imagery and theological language illustrates how essential it is that words be evaluated and chosen with understanding and care.
These essays offer ministers of the Church -- priests, religious, and laity -- the most up-to-date liturgical scholarship so that they may look ahead to the needs of their assemblies.
