More than forty authors from Asia, Africa, Latin America, North
America, and Eastern and Western Europe have contributed to the
"Handbook." Many are professors and graduates of the Pontifical
Liturgical Institute in Rome. Each author, while drawing material
from liturgical tradition and from ancient, medieval, and modern
sources, writes also from a particular research and personal
interest in a subject. Although diverse in style, the authors
collectively express a spirit of fidelity to the Church, to its
doctrine and tradition, and to its mission. The result is a
cohesive view of the meaning, purpose, and celebration of Christian
worship.
