The acquisition of the A & C Black theology list brings major Biblical commentaries and some of contemporary theology's most distinguished scholars to Continuum's already outstanding list. Continuum plans to build on the A & C Black list and its Continuum, Chapman, and Mowbray religious book programs to further expand its leading position in religious publishing. Dom Gregory Dix's classic account of the development of the Eucharistic rite continues to be the authoritative work on the subject. He presents his massive scholarship in lively and nontechnical language for all who wish to understand their worship in terms of the framework from which it has evolved. He demonstrates the creative force of Christianity over the centuries through liturgy and the societies it has molded.

This book predates the liturgical reforms that followed Vatican Two, so in some respects the book seems dated yet it is still an invaluable discussion of the origins and evolution of the Eucharistic Liturgy. Of course, I am biased: this was the first book on liturgy that I ever read on the advice of my priest and it began for me a fascination with liturgical movements. Historically, Dix' work was a major component in the Liturgical movement's attempts to return to earlier forms of the Eucharistic Liturgy.
Dix argues for a Eucharistic Prayer with four components which he sees as present through the Eucharistic Prayers of Churches in Apostolic Succession through the centuries. At the same time, he recognizes that with the Protestant Reformation, elements of the Eucharistic Prayer were downplayed in favor of other elements.
In many ways this is a ponderous read. Dix is an exacting liturgical scholar and tends to develop his points fully. Nevertheless this is a book that should be required reading for those interested in the liturgical movements predating Vatican II within the Church.
