This book introduces new scholarship exploring liturgical futures in light of Sacrosanctum Concilium at 60+. In critical dialogue with a variety of knowledge areas, scientific developments, evolving philosophical and technological innovations, and contemporary cultural trends and flows, it considers the place of liturgy in today’s world and its anticipated futures. Utilising a range of research methodologies, authors from Australia, New Zealand, and the USA reflect on and advance many key sections of Sacrosanctum Concilium, investigating topics such as: liturgical music, active participation, liturgical architecture, inculturation of the liturgical year, liturgical formation of seminarians, liturgy and affect, forming children for sacramental reception, vernacular translation, the basis of SC’s general principles, an ecumenical view of inherent liturgical hierarchies, and advancing notions of sacramentality in light of Laudato Si’. This book honors but goes beyond the original vision of Sacrosanctum Concilium, and is important for scholars looking to engage post-postmodern societal trajectories and dialogue with emerging fields of discourse in liturgical studies.Clare V.
