<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When Adrien Nocents The Liturgical Year was first published in the 1970s, it was the very first comprehensive commentary on the three-year lectionary in relation to the Sacramentary/Missal as these were revised following the Second Vatican Council. Expressed on nearly every page was Nocents conviction that the liturgy and the Word of God proclaimed within it have something important to say to real people of every culture and time. He constantly returns to the question: What does this passage have to say to us today? Now this extraordinary work of applied, postconciliar liturgical scholarship has been revised and annotated by one of todays top liturgical scholars. Paul Turner has provided many helpful explanatory notes on history, culture, language, and, of course, liturgy. He has also updated the liturgical texts to conform to The Roman Missal, Third Edition. The result is a resource that promises to enrich and inspire a new generation of presiders, preachers, liturgy planners, and students. On the fiftieth anniversary of Vatican IIs Sacrosanctum Concilium, encounter the vibrant scholarship and pastoral wisdom of Adrien Nocents The Liturgical Year again or for the first time! Volume 3 covers all of the Sundays in Ordinary Time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When Adrien Nocent's <em>The Liturgical Year</em> was published in the 1970s, it was the very first comprehensive commentary on the three-year lectionary in relation to the Sacramentary/Missal as these were revised following the Second Vatican Council.

He weaves the paschal mystery, eschatology, and living liturgy daily into a core tool for interpreting Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany in a fresh way. In this reissue, Fr. Paul Turner sensitively respects Nocent's own voice as he bridges the time after the Council to the present age. . . . This work needs to be on every priest's, liturgist's, musician's, and assembly member's 'go to' shelf." Joyce Ann Zimmerman, CPPS Institute for Liturgical Ministry<br><br><br>"This new edition of Adrien Nocent's <i>The Liturgical Year</i> dappers up an old friend! . . . The virtues of Nocent's original work . . . can again serve preachers, liturgists, and lovers of the liturgy because of Turner's fine work. It promises to be a key resource for another forty years." Rev. Michael Witczak Associate Professor of Liturgical Studies Catholic University of America<br><br><br>"<i>Aggiornamento </i>is back! Paul Turner has updated the first volume of Adrien Nocent's <i>The Liturgical Year </i>in a discrete, respectful, and informed manner, enabling the author's reflections on the feasts and seasons as well as on the Lectionary to connect effectively with the concerns and interests of present-day readers. I look forward to the next two volumes." Patrick Regan, OSB Saint Joseph Abbey Saint Benedict, Louisiana Author of <i>Advent to Pentecost</i><br><br><br>"In 1977 when Adrien Nocent's book appeared in English translation, I was studying the liturgical year with him at Sant'Anselmo. I remember how moved I was to read his deep reflections after having experienced the new lectionary with its three-year cycle of readings at that point only a couple of times. Now, having experienced the three-year cycle more than a dozen times, I am still moved by his writings. I am delighted that his book has been updated by Paul Turner and is coming into print again." Michael S. Driscoll Associate Professor University of Notre Dame<br><br><br>"Though originating in the postconciliar period, Adrien Nocent's volumes remain one of the church's finest commentaries on the Lectionary and contain remarkable up-to-date insights for our times. Thanks to the emendations and annotations of Paul Turner, one of today's finest liturgical scholars, these volumes will enrich the thoughts of parish liturgists, presiders, homilists, musicians, lectors, theology students, and participants in the church's liturgy."Stephen J. BinzBiblical scholarAuthor of <i>Conversing with God in Advent and Christmas</i> (also <i>Conversing with God in Lent</i> and <i>Conversing with God in the Easter Season</i>)<br><br>
