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.

Diccionario de las religiones

«Los hombres esperan de las diversas religiones la respuesta a los enigmas recónditos de la condición humana, que hoy como ayer conmueven íntimamente su corazón: ¿Qué es el hombre? ¿Cuál es el sentido y el fin de nuestra vida? ¿Qué es el bien y qué el pecado? ¿Cuál es el origen y el fin del dolor? ¿Cuál es el camino para conseguir la verdadera felicidad? ¿Qué es la muerte, el juicio y cuál la retribución después de la muerte? ¿Cuál es, finalmente, aquel último e inefable misterio que envuelve nuestra existencia, del cual procedemos y hacia el cual nos dirigimos?

El camino medio : la fe basada en el razonamiento

For nearly 2,000 years, Nagarjuna's teachings have occupied a central position in Mahayana Buddhism. An essential part of the study and practice in the great Indian Buddhist monastic universities, these teachings were later incorporated into the Tibetan monastic programs that modeled their curricula on their Indian predecessors. In "The Middle Way, " the Dalai Lama offers a brief, brilliant, and complete presentation of the ultimate view of reality in the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism.
