Drawing on the Eastern Orthodox tradition of asceticism and
integrating it with recent Western thought on liturgy, David W.
Fagerberg examines the interaction between the two and presents a
powerful argument that asceticism is necessary for understanding
liturgy as the foundation of theology. Asceticism may have been
perfected in the sands of the desert, but it is demanded of every
theologian and, indeed, every Christian. It grants the capacity for
pondering liturgy and sharing the life of Christ. Fagerberg brings
to light asceticism's essential importance in liturgical theology.
Fagerberg's earlier work, Theologia Prima, understood liturgy as
the foundation of theology. To that framework, he now adds the
relevance of asceticism. Asceticism was understood to overcome the
passions by cooperating with grace. It detailed how to train the
life of grace and produce what the ancient church called a
theologian. Fagerberg carries the wisdom of the earliest centuries
forward. He develops a new framework called liturgical asceticism
that combines discipline with sharing the life of Christ.
