Heaven and Earth in Little Space

Autor Andrew Burnham
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 aug 2011
This timely and provocative book asks whether the widespread falling away of the appeal of religious worship is connected with the simplification of liturgical practice over recent decades. Has a well-meant policy of making the language and style of worship more accessible resulted in a loss of the sense of mystery - and has this accelerated the decline? The author, who was involved with the development of Common Worship, surveys five hundred years of change in the Anglican tradition against the wider backdrop of the Catholic and the Orthodox traditions. He explores what the search for re-enchantment might mean in a post-modern society where the corporate practice of religion is in decline and where religious language and religious worship have lost much of their appeal. ANDREW BURNHAM is the Bishop of Ebbsfleet He was formerly Vice-Principal of St Stephen's College, Oxford, and served on the Liturgical Commission of the Church of England. He is the compiler of A Manual of Anglo-Catholic Devotion. JONATHAN BAKER is the Principal of Pusey House Oxford and the author of Consecrated Women? He is currently a member of the Liturgical Commission of the Church of England.

Recenzii

'There is much of what Burnham says in this work about liturgy that requires an Amen ... Burnham has some useful comments to make on the calendar, noting that in English Anglicanism, and increasingly among many Roman Catholics, feast and fat seem to play little part in the lives of believers. These essays ... call for recognising that worship is a serious undertaking, and is the event when heaven and earth, time and eternity, briefly elide in the presence of the triune God's majesty. [He] also suggests some concrete ways whereby the liturgy may be re-enchanted.' -- Bryan D. Spinks 20110717
