One of the most influential works in the debate over the concept
and definitions of liturgical theology, Context and Text by
Monsignor Kevin W. Irwin is now available in a completely
rewritten, new edition. In light of the historical, theological,
and pastoral mandates of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy,
Context and Text is both a proposal for and an example of an
investigation of the church's liturgical praxis from a
liturgical-theological perspective. This second edition, which
includes an expanded introduction, covers: * new liturgical and
ecclesial contexts resulting from newly promulgated liturgies *
further research in method for liturgical studies * consideration
for changes in the cultural contexts in which people celebrate the
liturgy. Besides brand-new chapters on time and sacramentality, and
additions to the chapter on the arts, this edition also considers
the ongoing 'texts and contexts' of the liturgy as always a new
event in the life and ongoing discussion of liturgical theology
within Christianity.
There are few things more joyous in a congregation than the
presentation of a new baby or small child for baptism. But even
lifelong Christians can lack an understanding of the theology and
terminology surrounding baptism. The Baptism of Your Child answers
common questions new parents and new members with small children
may have about having their children baptized, and it includes
prayers and ideas for helping children grow in their faith.
In Reformed Sacramentality, the late Graham Hughes discusses the
role of physicality in worship. He contends that to counter the
Reformed tradition's vulnerability to a cultural colonization by
secular modernity, Reformed theology needs to amplify its
appreciation for God's omnipresence in creation with a
re-appropriation of the condensed symbols of faith. Hughes's
argument builds on a historical analysis of the Reformed
tradition's rejection of material sacramentality and its ecclesial
and cultural consequences. From a late modern vantage point, Hughes
advocates for a rediscovery of material sacramentality both as a
lever against modern solipsism and as an iconic reminder of God's
radical otherness.
