What is the Christian response to developments in the hard
sciences? What do discoveries at the macro and micro levels have to
say about Christian theology, about a theology of God, Christology,
pneumatology, and creation? How do the developments in systematic
theology that do take the advances in cosmology and the New
Sciences seriously come to bear on our worship life?These are the
questions that are addressed in this text. It is an initial effort
to bring cosmology and the New Sciences into dialogue with
developments in systematic and sacramental theology. This book also
suggests some ways in which these developments might appear in our
worship. Overall, the author is concerned to reduce the cognitive
dissonance between our scientifically informed everyday lives and
our life of faith.
Christians are identified by their participation in liturgy. In this primer, Catherine Vincie introduces readers to current liturgical theology by providing them with the foundational themes of the field. She explains that liturgy draws us into the paschal mystery of Jesus Christ, that it should create a space in which we attempt to name toward God by employing an abundance of metaphors and images, and that the sacraments are communicated and understood through the use of symbols. Vincie is grounded in the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council. As such, "Celebrating Divine Mystery" seeks to draw readers into full, conscious, and active participation" in the liturgy by informing them about recent scholarship and challenging them to enter the divine mystery as informed and engaged participants. "Catherine Vincie, RSHM, PhD, is professor of sacramental and liturgical theology at the Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis. She is also author of "The Role of the Assembly in Christian" Initiation and many articles on initiation, Eucharist, and liturgy and justice. As a practicing liturgical musician, she is also interested in the role of the arts in past and current liturgical celebration.""
