This booklet by the Rev. Dr. Arthur Carl Piepkorn, of blesseed memory, presents the Rubrics of The Lutheran Liturgy.
"Where the rubrics of our use contradict one another, this pamphlet suggests a solution to the dilemma. Where the rubrics are inconsistent, this pamphlet tries to harmonize them. Where the rubrics permit various possibilities, this pamphlet indicates which possible choice has the best historical warrant. Where the rubrics say that something may or shall be done, but does not indicate how it is to be done, this pamphlet proposes a mode of procedure that accords with the best liturgical tradition of the Church of the Augsburg Confession." (A.C.P.)
