O Sacred Head, Now Wounded: A Liturgy for Daily Worship from Pascha to Pentecost by Jonathan Gibson
2.0
This is not a devotional/liturgy from Pascha to Pentecost. It's Lent, Holy Week, Easter (which is usually called Pascha) and Pentecost. Its subject matter is not suitable for the season of feasting and rejoicing between the Resurrection and Pentecost; it's contemplative and dwelling on our sin and repentance—for Lent.
The liturgy sections are drawn from various sources, all Reformed; and while I'd like to love it, I miss the richness of the language of the traditional liturgies.
In trying to make up his own language, titles, and traditions to somehow honor more time-tested ones he's missed the mark—especially with the extremely misleading (in fact flat-out untrue) subtitle.
The pretty embossed "cover" is actually the slip box, while the book itself is very plain. And for a book that you're to progress through day by day I have absolutely no idea why it has *three* different-colored ribbon bookmarks. It feels like this was meant to appeal to book collectors and not actually to be read at all.
