Book Synopsis Acting Liturgically by : Nicholas Wolterstorff
Download or read book Acting Liturgically written by Nicholas Wolterstorff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participation in religious liturgies and rituals is a pervasive and remarkably complex form of human activity. This book opens with a discussion of the nature of liturgical activity and then explores various dimensions of such activity. Over the past fifty years there has been a remarkable surge of interest, within the analytic tradition of philosophy, in philosophy of religion. Most of what has been written by participants in this movement deals with one or another aspect of religious belief. Yet for most adherents of most religions, participation in the liturgies and rituals of their religion is at least as important as what they believe. One of the aims of this book is to call the attention of philosophers of religion to the importance of religious practice and to demonstrate how rich a topic this is for philosophical reflection. Another aim is to show liturgical scholars who are not philosophers that a philosophical approach to liturgy casts an illuminating light on the topic that supplements their own approach. Insofar as philosophers have written about liturgy, they have focused most of their attention on its formative and expressive functions. This book focuses instead on understanding what liturgical agents actually do. It is what they do that functions formatively or expressively. What they do is basic.

Book Synopsis The Aesthetics of Discipleship by : Adrian Coates
Download or read book The Aesthetics of Discipleship written by Adrian Coates and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discipleship is embodied. Formation in the Christian life is not an otherworldly exercise but one that plays out in this world, interwoven with everyday sensory experience in ordinary life. The Aesthetics of Discipleship explores this dynamic through Kierkegaard's framing of "aesthetic existence"--the sensory experience of being "in the moment"--further developed by Bonhoeffer, as operating within a realm of freedom, encompassing not only art but play, friendship, and cultural formation. In addition to Kierkegaard and Bonhoeffer, the work of Iain McGilchrist, Graham Ward, and Nicholas Wolterstorff is employed to offer a fresh perspective on discipleship, "from below": Everyday sensory experiences are integral not only to being human but to the practice of discipleship, such that discipleship integrates aesthetic, ethical, and religious existence. Aesthetic existence unhinged from a life of faith or fueled by distorted Christendom creates and sustains aestheticized pseudorealities centered on the self. Mature aesthetic existence, however, anchored in love for God, plays a fundamental role in the Christian life, both as the incarnational celebration of being fully human, and also through the preconscious formation of imaginaries by which we live.
Book Synopsis Authentic Liturgy by : Nathaniel Marx
Download or read book Authentic Liturgy written by Nathaniel Marx and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2021 Catholic Media Association Award honorable mention award in liturgy Authenticity is a value difficult to define but impossible to ignore in contemporary life. The desire for authentic experience pervades art, music, food, dating, marketing, and politics. Worship is no exception: Vatican documents, megachurch websites, pastors, and liturgy planners all make competing claims to offer the genuine article. But what makes liturgy authentic? What distinguishes real celebration from artificial spectacle, heartfelt prayer from empty ritualism, a living tradition from both stagnation and gimmickry? Can today’s Christians perform the liturgy so that it is not a mere performance but a sincere offering of their whole selves? In this book, Nathaniel Marx argues that the defining characteristic of authentic liturgy is harmony. Authentic liturgy happens when the minds of participants are in tune with their voices. The call for worshipers to harmonize their inward and outward offerings of prayer is discernible in the Bible, in the history of Christian prayer, and in diverse efforts to invigorate communal worship today. Marx’s argument unfolds the meaning of this call to authentic worship through a provocative and wide-ranging study incorporating scriptural exegesis, liturgical history, anthropology of ritual, and philosophy of action. He argues that authenticity is not a modern buzzword but an ancient virtue essential to worshiping in a spirit of communion.
Book Synopsis A Liturgical Praxeology on the Rehearsal of Attitudes by : Ferdi P. Kruger

This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has a target audience of scholars working in Practical Theology, especially scholars interested in the functioning of attitudes, cognition, and remembrance. In understanding this book, it will be vital to realize that the author is connecting liturgy's face, interface, and outlook to the concepts of attitude, cognition, and remembrance. The book embarks on the importance of a liturgy that should connect with everyday life and a liturgy that enables its participants to make divulgences that can enhance its meaningfulness to its participants. This book is directed to an audience interested in an interdisciplinary approach to liturgics, liturgists in congregations and people concerned with liturgy's meaningfulness.

Book Synopsis Theologia Prima by : David W. Fagerberg
Download or read book Theologia Prima written by David W. Fagerberg and published by LiturgyTrainingPublications. This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Liturgical Theology" is often a convenient label for any theology that has loosely to do with worship or Eucharist. In this innovative book, David Fagerberg distinguishes liturgical theology from a general theology of worship. He proposes two defining attributes of liturgical theology: (1) "lex orandi": It is manifested in the Church's historical rites. (2) "theologia prima": It is theology done by the liturgical community. Theologia Prima is a thorough revision of Dr. Fagerberg's groundbreaking, What Is Liturgical Theology? A Study in Methodology (1992). It contains three new chapters as well as well as more anecdotal material derived from Dr. Fagerberg's extensive experience as a teacher and theologian.
