Download or read book Symbol and Sacrament written by Louis-Marie Chauvet and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work comes at an opportune hour: a time in which many complain that contemporary theology lacks a general theory of sacraments. Chauvet charts a reorientation in sacramental theology from the scholastic treatments, which appropriated the metaphysical categories of causality and substance to develop an essentially instrumentalist appreciation of grace, in favor of an approach through the category of symbol." In this approach the subject is as much "grasped" (and transformed) by the symbolic representation as is the object being interpreted. Chauvet commands a wealth of scholarship which he deploys to powerful effect. His work in developing a foundational theology of sacramentality will remain the standard for years to come. "

Book excerpt: The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) became mandatory in the United States in 1988. RCIA is our adaptation of Christian initiation as it was practiced in the early Church. And so, although these rites are not new, to many they are unfamiliar. This deluxe pamphlet explains RCIA in a way that will help both catechumens and "cradle Catholics" understand the rich tradition of Christian Initiation for adults. Explaining that RCIA is a process, "Liturgical Signs and Symbols" describes the steps that candidates and catechumens walk as they begin their journey into the Church. The Rite of Enrollment, followed by Rites of Scrutinies and Presentations lead ultimately to the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil. The RCIA process continues throughout the Easter season as the newly initiated pass through "Mystagogy," or mystery, receiving further instruction about what it means to partake in the Paschal Mystery. "Liturgical Signs and Symbols" is a concise, understandable, and inspiring introduction to the RCIA process. "Deluxe pamphlet" Nonreturnable

Download or read book Christian Symbol and Ritual written by Bernard Cooke and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Christian Symbol and Ritual, Bernard Cooke and Gary Macy offer an accessible and engaging introduction to the topic written from a non-denominational perspective. Cooke and Macy demonstrate that celebration, ritual, and symbol are already central to our lives, even though most do not see their actions as symbolic or ritualistic. They connect central Christian symbols to the symbols and rituals already present in everyday life and place Christian theology in a familiar context. After discussing the characteristics and functions of rituals, they explore different kinds of ritual, including those of friendship, worship, and healing. The authors also examine such questions as how rituals establish and maintain power relationships, how "official" rituals are different from "popular" Christian rituals and devotions, and how Christian rituals function in the process of human salvation. Christian Symbol and Ritual is an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and lay readers.
