Eucharistic Prayers of the Roman Rites

Throughout Christian history the theology articulated in the eucharist prayer has become the theology of the people. This book is a historical-theological commentary on the approved, postconciliar, eucharistic prayers of the Roman Rite. The author, Father Enrico Mazza, traces each prayer to its root time and gives the reader the cultural-theological climate of those times before analyzing the theological principals as translated in the prayers today.
