Authentic Liturgy

Sinopsis del Libro

2021 Catholic Media Association Award honorable mention award in liturgy Authenticity is a value difficult to define but impossible to ignore in contemporary life. The desire for authentic experience pervades art, music, food, dating, marketing, and politics. Worship is no exception: Vatican documents, megachurch websites, pastors, and liturgy planners all make competing claims to offer the genuine article. But what makes liturgy authentic? What distinguishes real celebration from artificial spectacle, heartfelt prayer from empty ritualism, a living tradition from both stagnation and gimmickry? Can today’s Christians perform the liturgy so that it is not a mere performance but a sincere offering of their whole selves? In this book, Nathaniel Marx argues that the defining characteristic of authentic liturgy is harmony. Authentic liturgy happens when the minds of participants are in tune with their voices. The call for worshipers to harmonize their inward and outward offerings of prayer is discernible in the Bible, in the history of Christian prayer, and in diverse efforts to invigorate communal worship today. Marx’s argument unfolds the meaning of this call to authentic worship through a provocative and wide-ranging study incorporating scriptural exegesis, liturgical history, anthropology of ritual, and philosophy of action. He argues that authenticity is not a modern buzzword but an ancient virtue essential to worshiping in a spirit of communion.

Ética de la compasión

La ética es la respuesta a una interpelación que pone en cuestión el orden moral. Lo que nos convierte en humanos no es la obediencia a un código universal y absoluto sino el reconocimiento de la radical vulnerabilidad de nuestra condición y el hecho de no poder eludir la demanda del dolor del otro. No hay ética porque sepamos qué es el "bien", sino porque hemos vivido y hemos sido testigos de la experiencia del mal. No hay ética porque uno cumpla con su "deber", sino porque nuestra respuesta ha sido adecuada al sufrimiento. No hay ética porque seamos "dignos", porque tengamos...
