Dom Gregory Dix was an English Benedictine monk, liturgist, and theologian, born in 1901. He is best known for his influential work on the Christian liturgy, particularly his book, *The Shape of the Liturgy*, published in 1945. Dix's scholarship emphasized the historical development of worship practices in the Christian Church and sought to connect contemporary liturgy with its early roots. Dix was also a prominent figure in the Anglican tradition, contributing to the understanding of the Eucharist and its significance in Christian life. His insights have had a lasting impact on both Anglican and broader Christian liturgical practices, making him a key figure in 20th-century religious thought.
