Description
The celebration of the liturgy of the Holy Eucharist is one of the central issues in the Roman Catholic Church today. To mark the "Year of the Eucharist", the Society of St. Catherine of Siena held a conference on the Eucharistic liturgy at Oxford in 2005. This book contains the energetic and fruitful reflection of the scholars present at the conference. The contributions are academically demanding yet accessible to a wider audience. The collection does not seek a solution to the current problems, rather it promotes an open discussion about the theological, philosophical and historical issues surrounding the celebration of the liturgy and its future as well as paying attention to the increasing interest in the pre-conciliar rites.
Reviews / Votes
"'This collection of papers contributes much to a better understanding and more sanctifying celebration of the Eucharistic Mystery. Liturgical renewal and a deeper understanding of the public worship of the Church will no doubt gain from the publication of the lectures and discussion contained in this book.' Francis Cardinal Arinze, Congregation of the Divine Liturgy"More details
