The Manual on the Liturgy
Supplement to the Lutheran Book of Worship
Book •
The Manual on the Liturgy functions as a user-friendly companion to the Lutheran Book of Worship, explaining the structure of worship services, the meaning of liturgical colors, and the arrangement of worship space.
It was produced within the American Lutheran liturgical tradition and has been used as a practical explanatory guide for clergy and laity.
The volume offers historical background and pastoral guidance for planning services and selecting appropriate hymns and rites.
While tied to the Lutheran Book of Worship, it remains useful across Lutheran bodies for understanding common-service practice.
Dr. Jordan Cooper recommended it as a very helpful introductory resource for those learning liturgy.
