"The heart of this book is about the ways in which the liturgy of
the sacraments has been celebrated and understood in history and
the ways in which the liturgy can (and should) influence how we
understand the sacraments today." In the first text of its kind,
renowned liturgical scholar Kevin W. Irwin offers a thorough
explanation of the sacraments in their intimate relationship to
liturgy. In Part 1 he traces the historical evolution of sacraments
and sacramental practice from their biblical foundations through
the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council. Part 3
concerns a theology of sacraments based on the liturgy as a major
and firm foundation for understanding the theology of the
sacraments today. Bridging these two main parts are two
methodological chapters that describe the sources and method to be
applied in Part 3. The Sacraments: Historical Foundations and
Liturgical Theology is an indispensable resource for scholars and
students who need to understand the sacraments as they should be
understood: in their historical and theological relationships to
the liturgy.
