A Tactful God. Gregory Dix: Priest, Monk and Scholar. by BAILEY, Simon

Leominster: Gracewing, 1995. 0852443048. 1st edition. "The publication of The Shape of the Liturgy proved a watershed in English speaking liturgical writing. Whilst it was the culmination of the scholarship and spirituality of the Anglican monk-writer Dom Gregory Dix, it was only the best example of a wide and important output. Drawing on original correspondence and notebooks, Simon Bailey provides a balanced assessment of Dix the monk, scholar and pastor, and charts his involvement in the papalist Anglo-Catholicism of the inter-war years, his concern ove the Church of South India Scheme and his contribution to the wider life of the universal church."
