Contemporary culture is rediscovering the importance of beauty for
both social transformation and personal happiness. Theologians have
sought, in their varied ways, to demonstrate how God's beauty is
associated with notions of truth and goodness. This book breaks new
ground by suggesting that liturgy is the means par excellence by
which an experience of beauty is communicated. Drawing from both
secular and religious understandings, in particular the mystical
and apophatic tradition, the book demonstrates how liturgy has the
potential to achieve the one ultimately reliable form of beauty
because its embodied components are able to reflect the disturbing
beauty of the One to whom worship is always offered. Such
components rely on understanding the aesthetic dynamics upon which
liturgy relies. This book draws from a broad range of disciplines
concerned with understanding beauty and self-transformation and
concludes that while secular utopian forms have much to contribute
to ethical transformation, they ultimately fail since they lack the
Christological and eschatological framework needed, which liturgy
alone provides.
