Liturgical Dogmatics

Theology

“At the turn of the millennium Cardinal Ratzinger famously called for a new "'liturgical movement', a movement toward the liturgy and toward the right way of celebrating the liturgy, inwardly and outwardly." One can do neither if one does not know what the Sacred Liturgy is. Liturgical Dogmatics ensures that this is possible. Fagerberg's refreshing approach moves the study of liturgy beyond historical, ceremonial, and spiritual questions and gives it its rightful place―as the literally fundamental locus of the Church's experience of God's redemptive revelation in Christ. Theologians and liturgists ('pastoral', 'trad', or whatever) take note: this work will challenge and change you―for the better.”
