The Sacraments - The Word of God at the Mercy of the Body

About this book

Why from its very beginnings has the Church celebrated the sacraments in particular baptism and Eucharist? Why from its origin has faith in Christ which is expressed in a human free just loving way of living ruled by the gospel also been expressed in the language of rites? The Sacraments by Louis-Marie Chauvet offers reflections on the theology celebration and pastoral usage of the sacraments. It is a textbook version of Chauvets Symbol and Sacrament published by The Liturgical Press in 1995 that was acclaimed by theologians as offering a fresh theology of the sacraments from a perspective other than scholastic theology.
