Title: Holy Things: A Liturgical Theology by Gordon W. Lathrop ISBN: 0-8006-3131-5 Publisher: Fortress Press Pub. Date: January, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $20.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent
Comment: Lathrop takes up Alexandre Schmemann's concept of
the _ordo_ and runs with it...a very helpful ecumenical
approach to liturgical theology. Lathrop organizes his
thought around clear, penetrating images and experiences
of the liturgy. His _Holy People: A Liturgical Ecclesiology_
is also a good find.
Rating: 3
Summary: Ranges from superb to puzzling
Comment: The early chapters of this work are both engrossing and likely to spur reflection. The excellent descriptions of various areas of liturgical theology not only provide the reader with significant background but include "eye catching" points which make well-known liturgical formulae suddenly have at least three new, powerful meanings. For example, Lathrop's explanations of how Jesus used metaphor in His parables, and of how this gives varied meanings to the "holy things" of worship, are exceptional.
The later sections of the book, for example those dealing with the "meal" aspects of worship, did not have the clarity and beauty which the beginning seemed to promise. Lathrop proposes questions without offering possible answers, and those (who are not of Lathrop's degree of knowledge in the subject) who seek to use this book to improve worship in their congregations may well be left with feeling they are back where they started.
Lathrop's book is wortwhile and interesting, but rather limited in its application.
