It will also be useful to those who are interested in the reform processes which took place before, during, and after the Second Vatican Council.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the main point? <\/strong>The presider\u2019s chair has two essential functions in the renewed and reformed Roman liturgy. In the Liturgy of the Word, it is the place where the presider listens to the Scriptures and offers the homily; in the liturgical assembly, it is the place where he receives and directs the community\u2019s prayer to God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is this book useful? <\/strong>The author presents a historically and phenomenologically grounded theology of liturgical presiding, as well as principles for planning and\/or re-organizing liturgical space in contemporary churches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kudos. <\/strong><em>Verbum ac Spiritus <\/em>is a revised version of the author\u2019s doctoral dissertation at the Pontifical Liturgical Institute in Rome, written under the direction of the noted Sicilian liturgist Crispino Valenziano. Consequently, <em>Verbum ac Spiritus<\/em> allows English-language readers to access Valenziano\u2019s groundbreaking theology of liturgical architecture. McCarthy forms his conclusions partly on the basis of his <em>doktorvater<\/em>\u2019s theology (presented here in detail) and partly on the basis of his own painstaking historical research. By providing primary sources and translations for all references to the chair from the ancient Roman liturgy until the post-Vatican II reforms, he comprehensively documents the development, disappearance, and restoration of the presider\u2019s chair to its proper place in the liturgy. In a renewed and reformed Roman liturgy, the altar remains the appropriate place for the Liturgy of the Eucharist to unfold, while the Liturgy of the Word now depends upon the liturgical ministers who serve at the ambo and the presider\u2019s chair. McCarthy concludes by offering a photographic presentation of a number of ancient and contemporary churches, providing an analysis of how each church can unveil the principles he establishes by his research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quibbles. <\/strong>The vast majority of <em>Verbum ac Spiritus <\/em>is taken up by the historical study of the presider\u2019s chair. Originally Fr. McCarthy\u2019s doctoral dissertation, this study was only lightly revised for this publication. McCarthy examines \u2013 one by one and in detail \u2013 the ancient Roman documents such as the <em>Verona<\/em>, <em>Old Gelasian<\/em>, and <em>Gregorian <\/em>sacramentaries; the various <em>Ordines Romani<\/em>, medieval, and Tridentine documents; and an exceptional number of documents (including the \u201cminutes\u201d of conciliar meetings) from all stages of the Vatican II reforms. While valuable for its comprehensive character, this section could be taxing for readers from a non-specialist audience. Additionally, the introductory \u201ctheological\u201d section of the book \u2013 nearly ninety pages in length \u2013 is presented without much reference to the historical analysis which follows. The reader is sometimes left attempting to differentiate seemingly <em>a priori<\/em> theological principles for liturgical architecture from those more firmly rooted in historical research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suggestions. <\/strong><em>Verbum ac Spiritus <\/em>is a valuable contribution to liturgical studies for its meticulous examination of a unique aspect of the recent Roman Catholic liturgical reforms. Because of its length and comprehensive character, the book will most likely serve as a reference work on the various principles \u2013 theological, historical, and otherwise \u2013 of Roman Catholic liturgical architecture. Generally, the student of comparative liturgy will be left searching for an analysis of similar trends in the Eastern and non-Roman liturgical traditions. Hopefully Fr. McCarthy\u2019s book can spur further research into the liturgical theology and history of the \u201cpresider\u201d in other traditions and ritual families. Finally, for less specialist readers with an interest in liturgical architecture, I would recommend McCarthy\u2019s collaboration with Dom James G. Leachman, OSB: <em>Come into the Light: Church Interiors for the Celebration of Liturgy <\/em>(Norwich, UK: Canterbury Press, 2016). This book presents, in a very readable form, an admirable synthesis and application of Crispino Valenziano\u2019s liturgical theology to the construction and renovation of contemporary churches.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy, O.S.B., Daniel P.\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuapress.org\/9780907077732\/verbum-ac-spiritus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Verbum ac Spiritus: Word and Spirit<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Washington, D.C.: Catholic University Press, 2022. $75.00.
