An unpromising title
I haven't read the book, or the review at PrayTell, but you're right: the title suggests an unpromising work. -
I will probably not read this unless it fell from the sky into my lap. $110!?!? If it did would probably take two minutes to sift it for motive. If anyone knows the jist clue us in. If you want to truly learn something about the modernity I suggest this... I have read it twice this month and it is 500+ pages for a fraction of the cost and contains words written by the Virgin Mary. Warning... it has shocking content.

The review at PT is by a professor of "worship" at an evangelical Protestant theological college in Illinois and president of Societas Liturgica, an international ecumenical liturgical study group.
