Calendar: Christ's Time for the Church by Laurence Hull Stookey (English) Paperb

Description: Calendar by Laurence Hull Stookey Calendar: Christs Time for the Church is the third volume in a trilogy which includes Baptism: Christs Act in the Church and Eucharist: Christs Feast With the Church. Calendar presents in great detail a theological explication of liturgical time--a valuable textbook and essential resource for clergy and laity. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A probing but clearly written book, Calendar will find an appreciative audience beyond academia and clergy to the laity of the church: choirs and their directors, worship planners, adult study groups, and others who want to understand better the churchs times of preparation and celebration. Calendar centers largely on theological meaning and parish practice in relation to liturgical time. Deliberately, almost no attention is given to detailed historical development, much of which is exceedingly complex in its origins and technical in its detail. An appendix entitled "Forgetting What You Were Always Taught (Or, This Book in a Nutshell)" aptly describes the radical reordering that Stookey believes occurs when our understanding of time and the story of Jesus takes its bearings from the Incarnation. So, just as the Christian week begins with Sunday, the day of Resurrection, Stookey follows the Christian year beginning with the season of Easter, and only then Lent; Christmas, then Advent. Illuminating discussions of Ordinary and Extraordinary Time, and the Sanctoral Cycle follow.
