Description: Title: Christ's Time for the Church Calendar Author: Stookey, Laurence Hull Publisher: Abingdon Press Binding: Paperback Pages: 190 Dimensions: 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d Product Weight: 0.6 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780687011360 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 church's 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. Ships Fast From The USA! Authorized Dealer
