’The book is well researched and engages extensively with existing literature, both religious and secular, and the historical material that is included is very helpful in placing the argument in wider context. This is a book that does have a very precise argument which is consistently forwarded and expresses the author's own hopes for the future of Roman Catholic liturgy in particular. Its potential application is, however, a good deal wider.’ Theological Book Review ’... this patiently documented and dispassionately argued book... opens up possibilities for forms of worship that would enhance our sense of the beauty of creation in the light of a glimpse of the beauty of that ’other place’, and which are currently almost unimaginable.’ Usus Antiquior

• Contents: Introduction; The movement of return; The movement of interiority; The movement in the image; The movement of desire; The movement towards silent mystery; The movement of aesthetics; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.
