In 1979 liturgical theologian Don Saliers published an essay
challenging both the Church's and the theological academy's
understanding of the relationship between liturgy and ethics.
"Liturgy and the Moral Self" seeks to honor Saliers by responding
to his prophetic and prescriptive invitation to theological work
that is framed in terms of the double-focus of Liturgy - the
glorification of God and the sanctification of humanity]."
Thematically grouped, this symposium engages a variety of
theological disciplines in the effort to understand and enVision
how liturgy, spirituality, and aesthetics entail practices that
enable people to develop into active Christians worthy of the
Gospel. Saliers' essay and its argument guide the symposium in
exploring several of its aspects from a diversity of perspectives
(theological disciplines, denominations, genders, generations).
Intended for pastoral ministers, as well as faculty and students
of seminary and graduate programs, "Liturgy and the Moral Self"
features Saliers' provocative essay, an introductory chapter, and
sections on liturgical theology, the formation of character, and
word and music - each with a single-page introduction to the
chapters that follow.
