The Liturgical Environment: What the Documents Say is a useful compendium of present liturgical law on the liturgical environment. Calling to mind the norm of active participation as the guiding principle for all liturgical celebration, each chapter considers the ecclesial documents that pertain to the particular object under discussion, the theology found in the documents, and the praxis that flows from the theology.
