"The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) was updated most recently in 2002 with the publication of the third edition of the Roman Missal. This book puts rubrical norms in historical perspective and examines the various versions of the GIRM, with particular attention to the changes introduced in 2002. The author concludes with reflections that may be helpful for ongoing liturgical renewal."--Jacket
