Theologia Prima - What Is Liturgical Theology? - 2 Pieces Per Package
Description
"Liturgical Theology" is often a convenient label for any theology that has loosely to do with worship or Eucharist. In this innovative book, David W. Fagerberg distinguishes liturgical theology from a general theology of worship. He proposes two defining attributes of liturgical theology:
- "lex orandi": It is manifested in the Church's historical rites.
- "theologia prima": It is theology done by the liturgical community.
The subject of this book is how liturgical theology is the basis for all theology, whether done by a believer in the pew, a monk in the cell, or an academic in the study. Understanding this fact has practical consequences for how the liturgical assembly encounters God.
David Fagerberg is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Notre Dame. He was the former acting director and associate professor of liturgical studies at The Liturgical Institute, University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary, Mundelein, Illinois. He holds an MDIV from Luther Northwestern Seminary; an MA in liturgical studies from St. John's University, Collegeville; an STM from Yale Divinity School; and a PHD in liturgical theology from Yale University. Publications include "The Size of Chesterton's Catholicism" (University of Notre Dame Press, 1998) as well as journal articles in "Worship", "America", "New Blackfriars", "Pro Ecclesia", "Diakonia", and "Antiphon".
