Beschreibung:
Joris Geldhof is professor of liturgical studies and sacramental theology at Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, where he chairs the Liturgical Institute and serves as editor in chief of the bilingual journal Questions Liturgiques/Studies in Liturgy. His major research foci are liturgical theology, the Eucharist, and the place of worship in contemporary cultures. He was elected President of Societas Liturgica for 2017 - 2019.
Can Christian worship engage our secular culture? 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.
