Surveying a representative sample of official liturgical sources from different Christian Churches, the question is asked how 'pure' the monotheism expressed in them is. For one could argue that there is some ambiguity involved, especially with respect to (i) the peculiar position of Christ, the Son of God, and God the Father in liturgical prayers, and (ii) regarding the veneration of the saints. The essential key to unlock this complex and multi-layered reality is a meticulous study of the essential doxological nature of Christian liturgy, both from a phenomenological point of view and on the basis of fine textual analyses.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49755118371089,"sku":"NGR9781009001847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50490239254801,"sku":"GOR013968726","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50694381142289,"sku":"GOR014038462","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52667464712465,"sku":"NLS9781009001847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52741704515857,"sku":"NIN9781009001847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1009001841.jpg?v=1751398960"},{"product_id":"cambridge-companion-to-christian-liturgy-book-joris-geldhof-9781009186643","title":"The Cambridge Companion to Christian Liturgy","description":"Throughout the long history of Christianity, Christians have celebrated their faith in a myriad of ways.

Should it? While engaging thinkers in philosophy, history, religious anthropology, and liturgical theology, liturgical theologian Joris Geldhof argues that such engagement is necessary—that our liturgy and faith should embrace our modern culture. He shows that liturgy itself is an immensely resourceful reality that appeals to any human being, regardless of sociocultural and intellectual circumstances. If properly understood, the liturgy can provide a powerful dynamic that helps people overcome any binary, including the unfortunate one between the “left” and “right” within the Catholic Church.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52615413301521,"sku":"NLS9780814684610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780814684610.jpg?v=1767356360"},{"product_id":"liturgical-theology-as-a-research-program-book-joris-geldhof-9789004426795","title":"Liturgical Theology as a Research Program","description":"This essay is centered around five questions: (i) What is the proper place of liturgical theology? (ii) Which evolutions have there been in the past and which current tendencies are there in the field of liturgical theology? (iii) Which contents must liturgical theologians focus on? (iv) How can liturgical theologians engage in research? And (v): How can liturgical theology appropriately respond to what happens in Church and society? Each question corresponds with one part. The rationale behind ordering the content of this essay in this way is the following: starting from a reflection about the non-evident place of liturgical theology, an attempt is made to give it a fitting profile again on the basis of its genealogy in the Liturgical Movement. Correspondingly, liturgical theology can be considered a full-fledged research program, which does not simply deal with Christian rituals, festivals and sacraments, but with the core of Christian faith.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52679884767505,"sku":"NLS9789004426795","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004426795.jpg?v=1768560357"},{"product_id":"worshiping-body-book-joris-geldhof-9798400802058","title":"The Worshiping Body","description":"Discover the groundbreaking liturgical and sacramental scholarship of Marie-Dominique Chenu.   Why is Chenu’s scholarship still relevant today? Like his slightly younger confrere Yves Congar, the French Dominican Marie-Dominique Chenu (1895–1990) was an important visionary of Catholic theology in the twentieth century. Long before scholars like Louis-Marie Chauvet, Chenu elaborated on the essential symbolic nature of sacramental mediation, on the operationality of grace through the liturgical celebration of Christ’s mysteries, and on the indispensable added value of the humanities for classical sacramental doctrine. In The Worshiping Body, scholars show how Chenu’s ideas on sacramental worship is foundational for any contemporary reflection on the dialogue between anthropology and theology.     The basis of this book is formed around five texts on liturgy and sacraments by Chenu, now available in English translation for the first time. The translations of these articles are alongside essays by expert scholars on contextualized themes that surface in Chenu’s essays and provide answers for how his contributions are both applicable and inspiring for today’s theological endeavors. This scholarship is relevant for liturgists as well as anyone interested in research on Vatican II and post Vatican II theology and Chenu’s important contributions to it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53636518740241,"sku":"NLS9798400802058","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53662085284113,"sku":"NIN9798400802058","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798400802058.jpg?v=1781001013"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-joris-geldhof.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
