"This collection of essays makes a significant contribution to
the field of liturgical studies. Many are original in the best
sense that theological work can be: grounded in the authentic
tradition, perceptive, imaginative, and capable of giving readers
new insights into, and a fresh appreciation of, timeless truths.
Taken together they will attract readers from a variety of
disciplines, in the first place because worship is an essential
aspect of every Christian life, and in the second because the
essays are written from, or informed by, the perspectives of a
range of related disciplines: doctrinal and spiritual theology,
history, philosophy, and liturgical studies." --Lauren Pristas,
Caldwell College
"The essays in this book grapple with the basic question: 'Who
celebrates the liturgy?' By delving into the complex
interrelationship between the divine initiative (liturgy as "opus
Trinitatis") and the human response (liturgy as "opus hominis"),
between the action of Christ and the Church and the participation
of the individual Christian, the authors--coming from a wide range
of theological disciplines--make a stimulating contribution to
contemporary liturgical theology." --Cassian Folsom, O.S.B.,
Pontifico Instituto Liturgico, Rome
The Liturgical Subject brings together in one volume a wide and
sometimes divergent range of understandings of the liturgy. Written
primarily by Roman Catholics, with one important ecumenical
contribution, the publication of these essays at this moment is
particularly apt. They reflect the widespread reassessment of
various aspects of especially the post-Conciliar period of
liturgical reform. At the same time the collection indicates how
liturgical study is called to account by, and is itself able to
question, the philosophical aspects of its work. This is an area of
enquiry as yet in its infancy, whose contours are nevertheless
already discernible in the papers gathered here. This volume is a
landmark for research of this kind, pointing toward further
ecumenical dialogue and contributing to more fundamental studies of
liturgy.
