Sacramental Presence in a Postmodern Context by Lieven Boeve & L. Leijssen & Lieven Boeve
How is it possible, today, to think the very incarnational character of Christianity, implying the discussion whether God can mediate divine salvation through the flesh? Why does our contemporary culture and society seem to have lost to a certain degree the potential for perceiving the invisible world? What about the structure of sacramental causality? What is the role of cultural anthropology in sacramentological reflection? In what way are sacraments rites functioning in the formation and cohesion of communities? Is the language used in liturgy still adequate to reach people with modern sensibilities? How can people in a detraditionalised Western society be initiated into the practice of Christian sacraments? And so on. These are all questions that have been raised over the last few years not only to sacramentologists and specialist in ritual and liturgical studies. Philosophers of religion and fundamental theologians have shown their interest in the subject. This book aims to cover many of the issues raised. |
