A plain language exploration of the theology of worship Professional theological terminology is often inaccessible to the average Christian. A House of Meanings presents liturgical theology in accessible ways, free of technical language. The book is designed for individual reading and structured to be a resource for a series of parish workshops, especially during the Easter season. Chapters conclude with a discussion guide intended to assist parishioners in developing their own sense of the value of worship and its relationship to our daily lives.

Dedicated to deepening parishioners’ understandings of the Church and how it has both gathered and sent into service to the world, A House of Meanings will be useful not only to congregations, but to seminarians and anyone planning or evaluating worship.

Juan Oliver, has served in a variety of ministerial positions as vicar, interim rector, acting canon to the ordinary, and as an academic and professor.

He is the Custodian of the Book of Common Prayer and lives in Santa Fé, New Mexico.
