Considered the most influential liturgical work of the twentieth century, this volume describes Dix’s Four Action Shape of the Liturgy: Offertory, Consecration, Fraction, and Communion. Dix explores the ancient Christian forms of liturgy from the Egyptian and Syrian traditions to the Roman, Jerusalem, and Antioch rites prior to the fourth century, and each of their expressions and developments in each liturgical action. The Shape of the Liturgy is the standard text for ancient liturgical studies and the meaning of each symbol and sacrament present today.

This nine-volume collection presents the eloquent writings of Anglican monk and priest Dom Gregory Dix. In his lifetime, Dix was many things: liturgical scholar, Anglican Benedictine monk, priest, historian, papalist, and prolific writer. His writing was based on apostolic traditions, early church history, and the works of Justin Martyr, Hippolytus of Rome, and the Syriac Liturgy of Addai and Mari. It flowed from a life of service and study.

Written on the eve of the Second World War at a time when the Anglican community was feeling most isolated in the Christian world at large, Jurisdiction in the Early Church takes a controversial stand in engaging an ecumenical investigation of the origins of the Roman Catholic papacy and early Christian episcopate. Referencing numerous church fathers throughout the ancient Christian world as well as recent publications (such as the publication of The Roman Primacy to A.D. 461 by B.J. Kidd, which set the tone for Dix’s work), Dix boldly discusses the recent issues of Vatican I’s declaration of infallability of the pope, the New Testament and early Christian evidences of central juristiction, and the implications of tradition as theological authority. His conclusions quickly stirred up controversy in the Christian world, but his defense of the papacy remains standard to contemporary studies on the papacy for Anglicans and Roman Catholics alike.

In this volume, Dix briefly discusses the contemporary Anglican practices of Christian initiation rites and the recent development of the Anglican theology of baptism across the past 50 years. He traces confirmation and baptism through the early church to the New Testament, unpacks the Greek and Latin meanings and interpretations related to these sacraments, and delves into soteriological issues with the theological teaching of these rites.

At the time of his death in May 1952 Dom Gregory Dix left behind the manuscript of this book, which it had been his intention to rewrite and expand. The material contained in it he had originally prepared for lectures delivered at the University of Uppsala in February 1950, and subsequently revised for delivery in America. Jew and Greek is a cultural-religious study of the early church and the many socio-cultural elements at conflict in early Christian communities. Dix addresses the many branches of Christian community and the writings that emerged in its evangelistic zeal—such as the Gospel of Mark—and the controversy between Peter and Paul.

This volume is a study of the early church and the apostolic tradition according to the texts of St. Hippolytus, perhaps one of the most illuminating and direct evidences for the religious polity and ecclesiastical practices of the ancient Christians. Dom Gregory Dix provides a lengthy introduction to provide background and context, while a thorough commentary and critical apparatus assists the reader with the Greek text of the Apostolic Tradition.

Gregory Dix, an Anglican Benedictine monk, scholar, writer, and broadcaster, was one of the most engaging public figures of his day. His classic work, The Shape of the Liturgy, has remained in print for 60 years. Apart from this magnum opus, Gregory Dix left many pamphlets, papers, sermons, radio talks, and other unpublished texts. From this remarkable archive, Simon Jones has created a text that will be valued in teaching, study, and as devotional reading for a new generation. It focuses on topics, such as, the Eucharist, baptism, ministry, holy order, the Christian life, and unity.

In this volume, Dix analyzes liturgical practices throughout the ancient church and explores their biblical and patristic dimensions. He provides an extensively patristic defense for many of the church’s sacraments (devoting much of this short treatise to the Eucharist and the liturgy surrounding the Eucharist in the church), as well as the liturgies of worship, and shows how the Church has evolved in its understanding of liturgical practice over time.

Published shortly after Dix’s death, this volume consists of a series of addresses and talks he gave to Anglican religious communities in England. Holding to the common theme of a spiritual retreat under the direction of Bernard of Clairvaux, while clinging to biblical examples from Paul, these talks are immensely practical, deeply authentic, and spiritually enriching.

Dix examines the claim made for Jesus by the first Christians and the biblical events in which the claim was grounded. If Jesus’ claim is to be taken seriously, what does this mean for us? This work merges the theology of the atonement with the practical life of the Christian who hears Jesus calling: “follow Me!”
