{"product_id":"worship-as-a-revelation-laurence-paul-hemming-9780860124603","title":"Worship as a Revelation: The Past Present and Future of Catholic Liturgy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe publication by Benedict XVI of the \u003ci\u003emotu proprio \u003c\/i\u003ehas put the question of the historyand meaning of the liturgy back into centre stage, not just for catholics but for many other christians as well. Dr. Hemming seeks to provide an intelligent background to the Pope's decision, addressing himself to a number of questions about the nature and character of catholic worship that opens a much wider historical discussion which will inform and persuade a wide audience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapter on liturgy and revelation is the turning point in the book and shows how an understanding of time that is presumed in all modern philosophical thought, is challenged by the understanding of divine self-revelation. This then forces us to ask what our relation to liturgical events are and how we experience them. Hemming advocates a  high  theology of the liturgy with the profoundest understanding of the spiritual and the enigma of faith. How will Christian worship change now, asks the author in his concluding chapter? He offers a sketch of what may happen in the coming decades, long after the Papacy of Benedict XVI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence Paul Hemming\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0860124606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780860124603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Burns \u0026amp; Oates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.47w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 34","brand":"Laurence Paul Hemming","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947408031999,"sku":"9780860124603","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4020894b-e532-45fc-b045-b5677905ed22.jpg?v=1681518549","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worship-as-a-revelation-laurence-paul-hemming-9780860124603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
