Well-known liturgical scholar and writer Philip Pfatteicher turns
his attention in this book to "liturgical spirituality" as distinct
from "liturgy and spirituality," which assumes two essentially
separate disciplines."Liturgical spirituality" is a holistic
concept, bringing together both liturgy and spirituality with
reference to the interior life of the spirit that is formed and
nurtured by the church's liturgy. Pfatteicher acknowledges that
there are other kinds of spirituality that appear to flourish apart
from and in addition to the liturgy: for example, the spirituality
of the desert ascetics of the early centuries of christianity, the
devotion of the Religious Society of Friends, and many forms of
meditation and spiritual discipline such as the Spiritual Exercise
of Ignatius Loyola. The focus of the present volume, however, is on
the spiritual life as formed by the liturgy, the ordered form of
Christian worship, East and West, Catholic and Protestant.In
addition to the form of worship one might experience on a Sunday
morning, Liturgical Spirituality guides the reader through and into
the experience of daily prayer, the Easter Vigil, the Church Year,
the Eucharist, hymns and music, Baptism, and even church
architecture as "hallowing space."In 1955 Louis Bouyer published an
admirable study entitled Liturgical Piety, written before Vatican
II and its far-reaching reforms that fundamentally changed the
entire Western church. Philip Pfatteicher has now taken up the
challenge of expanding upon Bouyer with a current and invigorating
study not of "liturgical piety" but of "liturgical
spirituality."Philip Phatteicher is Professor of English at East
Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania, a frequent writer and
lecturer on liturgical issues, and author of A Dictionary of
Liturgical Terms and The School of the Church: Worship and
Christian Formation, both published by Trinity Press.
