Study of the biblical and early Christian notion of remembrance  the Greek word anamnesis  shows that the Churchs ritual action of remembering our salvation in Christ not only inspires but demands action in the world. The problem remains  however  whether and how we are ale to practice such remembering in our society today. This book explores the political theology of Johann Baptist Metz to discover injustice and the challenge and hope it poses to those who join in solidarity with the oppressed  and the work of liturgical theologian Alexander Schmemann  to elaborate on how  in its unique keeping of time  the liturgy reveals the kingdom of God and empowers believers thus to witness to it. The meeting of these two compelling theologies results in a rich eschatology: life shaped by the Vision of a future that fulfills the promises of the past. Morrill also marshals the work of many scholars concerning the concept of anamnesis which has proven crucial to the progress of ecumenical dialogues on Church order and the Eucharist. The effort is to understand how the Churchs liturgical commemoration of Gods salvific deeds in history  especially in Jesus  allows for neither a timeless form of religious piety nor a ritualism detached from the commerce of life in the world. A concluding investigation of the relationship between anamnesis and eschatology leads to further considerations about the dialectical character of the praxis of faith. Anamnesis as Dangerous Memory  while written in the field of systematic theology  offers a fresh perspective and framing of the issues for readers of Christian ethics and moral theology.
