The Bible and the Liturgy illuminates the vital and meaningful bond between Bible and liturgy, connecting Church past and present.

In the modern day, Christians accept Church rituals as sacred but baffling heirlooms from the Church's past. But these rituals are so much more than that. Father Daniélou delves into how the Church's liturgical rites and feasts are intended not only to transmit the grace of the sacraments but also to instruct the faithful in their meaning, as well as the meaning of the whole Christian life. It is through the sacraments in their role as signs that Christians learn. Daniélou helps readers rediscover the significance of these rites so that the sacraments may once again be thought of as the continuation of the great works of God in the Old Testament and the New.
