Beskrivning
In honor of Teresa Berger, we are invited to consider the heights and the depths of worship in communion with creation.What if at the heart of the created universe lives the worship and praise of the Creator? And what if everything created finds its fulfillment in turning to this Creator God in worship? In a time of environmental crisis, Psalm 148 is a bold reminder that all of creation—heavenly beings, stars and planets, earth’s landforms and water bodies, flora and fauna, humans young and old—have a capacity for worship, to join in praise to and of their Maker.Written in honor of the prolific liturgical theologian Teresa Berger, the essays included in this collection affirm this biblical witness in studies theological, liturgical, and artistic by offering perspectives and examples from Christian antiquity to the present and by identifying ritual and musical expressions from both the Christian East and West. The contributors also consider the cosmic and the earthly, to recognize the heights and the depths of worship in communion with creation. Berger’s 2025 Berakah Award address to the members of the North American Academy of Liturgy is also included.   Contributors:Antonio Eduardo AlonsoKimberly Hope BelcherTeresa BergerHarald BuchingerNathan P.

Recensioner i media

“This outstanding edited volume is a fitting tribute to one of the most creative scholars in the academy working at the intersection of a theology of creation and liturgy. The themes running through this work reflect Teresa Berger’s ongoing concerns to develop both theological and liturgical arguments relevant for pressing contemporary investigations at the intersection of ecology, gender and art. Written in the spirit of ecumenical openness and generosity, this book is a vitally important contribution to a growing body of ecotheological literature at the intersection of theory and practice. Both established and emerging scholars offer novel insights, creating a rich kaleidoscope of different ways of seeing the way creation intersects with and interprets liturgical practice. The reader will inevitably respond to the book’s fresh and hopeful message, making this an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and ministers alike.”Celia Deane-Drummond, Director, Laudato Si’ Research Institute and Senior Research Fellow, Campion Hall, University of Oxford
