Book Description

July 2, 1988
This book is the RCIA! Exactly like LTP's ritual edition in size and pagination, this study edition enables everyone involved with the RCIA to have a working copy of the entire document. With ample margins for notes, sturdy but flexible binding, clearly numbered paragraphs in the introduction and texts, this edition is for study, reflection, and preparation of liturgy. The introduction to the entire RCIA and the introduction to each of the rites express the understanding that should be the foundation of the parish catechumenate.Who should have a copy of this book? The catechumenate team, catechists, music ministers, sacristans, pastors and pastoral associates, the liturgy team, deacons, presiders, seminarians, and theology students. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.

3.0 out of 5 stars Depends on what you are looking for. This is liturgy., November 1, 2002
This review is from: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, Study Edition: Complete text of the rite together with additional rites approved for use in the dioceses of the United States of America (Paperback)
This book is the entire text of the RCIA rites. Chapter Headings include: Period of Evangelization and precatechumanate; Election or Enrollment of Names; Period of Postbaptismal Catechesis or Mystagogy; Rites for Particular Circumstance; Additional (Combined) Rites; Acclamations, Hymns and Songs. This is not commentary and opinion on the RCIA rites, this is the rites themselves.

The Foreward begins "This edition of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults" contains the approved English translation of the 1974 emended second printing of the "Ordo initaitionis christianae adultorum" prepared by the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) and a number of other rites and liturgical texts approved for use in the dioceses of the United States of America."

So I think you get the picture -- this is probably a good book for pastors, deacons, and lay people who are running an RCIA program. It may also be useful for those catechumenates (like myself) who are very detail-oriented and want to know the exact text of each rite, and what we are going to have to say when it comes time for our part.

Unless you like reading liturgy, this book is not for the average catechumenate. To that person, it will seem extremely dry.

The book arrived just in time for my class. The book is used so I was a little worried it might be marked up a lot. Such was not the case. I saved a lot of money
and the book was everything it needed to be.
