5.0 out of 5 stars Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, Study Edition
Be detailed and specific. What would you have wanted to know before you purchased the product?
Not too short and not too long. Aim for between 75 and 300 words.

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.

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)
Our RCIA group always includes a mix of baptized, non-baptized, and Catholics who need most of their sacraments. This book gives us all the information about how to minister to each of these groups with the lovely worship rites of the Church. It's a "must read" for every RCIA team!

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 is just what I expected. It is a bit technical and not recommended for casual reaading but if you are a member of an RCIA team it is a wonderful reference tool. It gives precise details about the rites of initiation along with acceptable variations, options etc. Very useful.

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)
I have found this study edition to be very helpful in planning the rites for inclusion in the Sunday masses. I give a copy to each new member of our RCIA team.
