Liturgy and Theology: Economy and Reality
Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Overview
What is the relationship of liturgy to theology? The author describes the economic nature of liturgy in order to reimagine cosmology, sacrifice, the figural reading of Scripture, and metaphysical realism where liturgy itself enacts an apocalypse of transcendent realities.
Nathan Jennings has produced a brilliant short primer in liturgical theology, regarded as the core of theology as such. He very well shows how this truer perspective integrates the Platonic and philosophical with the apocalyptic and Biblical aspects of Christianity, and shows them to be inseparable. A crucial text for the future.
——John Milbank, author of Theology and Social Theory
