Liturgiam Authenticam, issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in 2001 has provoked much comment, both positive and negative, from many people involved with the liturgy.
Translating Tradition reprises a four-part series by Dr. Peter Jeffery, Obl.S.B., that appeared in the journal Worship in 2004. Jeffery conducts a thoughtful and respectful reading of Liturgiam Authenticam, to identify core principles, understand what the document is really saying and relate it to other church teaching.
Chapters are The Latin Liturgical Traditions, The Bible in the Roman Rite, "Languages and Cultures," and "Human and Angelic Tongues."
Peter Jeffery, OblSB, PhD, is the Scheide Professor of Music History at Princeton University. He is the author of A New Commandment: Toward a Renewed Rite for the Washing of Feet published by Liturgical Press.<
This book is a necessary resource for scholars, translators, and all those concerned with new texts in the Roman Rite. . . . With excellent documentation and penetrating analysis, Peter Jeffrey has provided a valuable and important wok. Highly recommended.Parish Liturgy Magazine

I found this book both valuable and refreshingly stimulating.Music and Liturgy
In this wonderful and challenging commentary from a diversity of perspectives (liturgy, music, linguistic, and cultural) Peter Jeffrey has provided us with a superb and much needed analysis of the controversial document, Liturgiam Authenticam. This should be required reading for all who seek a balanced approach to the questions and implications surrounding and arising from the translation of liturgical texts. Clearly a ‘must read’ for all students of liturgyThe Rev. Maxwell E. Johnson, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana
