Notes on the Contributors and Editors

Reviews

"Remarkable and noteworthy. The two Methodist editors...brought all their many gifts to bear in this task: wide global, ecumenical and academic experience; the respect of their peers in the academy; and years of work on the front lines of contemporary liturgical reform."--Christian Century
"A fitting tribute to Geoffrey Wainwright, whose work has been so very important to students of the liturgical life of the churches. It will be read with profit by all who seek to model themselves after Wainwright's own quest for a faithful, trinitarian, ecumenical vision of the Church, and to understand the place of our corporate doxology in its eschatological future."--Doxology
"A worthy and impressive tribute to Geoffrey Wainwright, an ecumenical leader in whom British and world Methodism can justly take pride."--One in Christ
"The articles, ecumenical in origin and in spirit, are never less than informative and often deeply insightful....The editors of this Festschrift have done their work uncommonly well. And not only Geoffrey Wainwright, but all of us, are the grateful beneficiaries of the feast they have set."--Worship
"The publication is a fitting encomium to Wainwright, the teacher, scholar, and churchman. We are indebted to his friends and colleagues for offering us such a rich collection." Religious Studies Review
