The primary purpose of Prophetic Liturgy is to inquire into the
prophetic dimension of the liturgy. Some questions addressed in the
book are: How can a liturgy be prophetic? How can liturgy form and
transform individuals and communities? In which sense does the
liturgy facilitate a living participation in
socio-political-economic life? How does the sacramental practice
challenge the church to mediate God's gifts of grace, love,
justice, and mercy to the world? Possible answers for these
questions begin to emerge as we develop an understanding of
religious praxis as an active and dynamic prophetic action, in
which the community of faith claims its identity, promotes an
engaged faithful Christian life, and affirms the sacramental life
of the church as a source of formation and inspiration for
prophetic praxis, mediating God's gift for the life of the world.
There is risk in presenting an option for prophetic praxis, in that
it may go beyond the comfort zone of a community and engender
spiritual and political alienation. The most challenging ethical
hope of this book is to provide the worshiping community with
prophetic awareness of socio-economic injustice, while at the same
time preserving the community's historical-cultural identity, its
religious values, and its sacramental spirituality. "In this
fascinating study, influenced by the work of Abraham Joshua
Heschel, Tercio B. Junker has given the church a life-saving gift.
Examining theological and social science contributions, Junker
astutely sets forth the basic elements of prophetic liturgy while
illustrating what the prophetic life looks like in the ministries
of Dom Helder Camara, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., and
Oscar Romero. This is an outstanding contribution to what . . . I
call ethical prophecy." --Rufus Burrow Jr., co-author of Daring to
Speak in God's Name "In a work marked by a passion for justice and
equality, and a compassionate engagement with human and ecological
needs, Junker demonstrates an intrinsic connection between the
power and beauty of sacrament, song, and preaching on the one hand,
and the need for liberation, or world transformation on the other.
It would be hard to think of a more encompassing treatment of the
relevance of biblically shaped ritual (broadly speaking) to a world
that is inevitably shaped by social and economic forces." --Frank
Burch Brown, Christian Theological Seminary "Tercio Junker's
Prophetic Liturgy is a liturgical theology for the 99 percent,
showing us how Christian worship both envisions a transformed world
and gives us the means by which to participate in that
transformation. While wide-ranging in his approach, Junker remains
true to his own Methodist heritage, demonstrating not only how
Christian worship can lead Christian communities to social holiness
but why it must do so." --E. Byron Anderson, Garrett-Evangelical
Theological Seminary "In Prophetic Liturgy, Tercio Junker shows
that liturgy, sacraments, and social witness are (or should be)
inseparably related and grounded in the graciousness of God.
Prophetic Liturgy attends to the wellbeing of every human, enabling
Christians to speak and act effectively on behalf of justice in the
world. This remarkable book never scolds or accuses, but envisions
the joy of life in covenant with God, engaged in loving actions,
and seeking God's new heaven and earth." --Ruth Duck,
Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary Tercio Bretanha Junker is

of Christian Theological Seminary at Indianapolis.
The voices of liturgical theology in the twentieth century are many
and varied. Primary Sources of Liturgical Theology brings together
in one volume the representative writings of scholars throughout
the Euro-North American context whose insights have shaped our
understanding of liturgy today. The selections in Primary Sources
of Liturgical Theology are arranged around nine seminal questions
which students of liturgical theology need to engage. Each
selection is introduced and contextualized by another liturgical
theologian. Through this first-hand encounter with primary sources
readers will develop a sense of the broad range of writings
available to them. Chapters are What Is Liturgical Theology?" "What
Is Liturgy?" "How Can We 'Do' Liturgical Theology?" "How Are
Theology and Liturgy Related?" "How Does Liturgy Embody Theological
Themes?" "What Is the Theological Function of Liturgical Language
and Ritual?" "What Is the Role of the Word in Liturgy?" "How Do
Liturgical Theologians Engage Cultural Diversity?" "How Are Liturgy
and Life Related?" Includes an alphabetical list of primary
contributors and a chronological index of major entries by date of
original publication. Contributors to Primary Sources of Liturgical
Theology are Peter Brunner; Odo Casel, O.S.B.; Louis-Marie Chauvet;
