Liturgy as Revelation: Re-Sourcing a Theme in Twentieth-Century Catholic Theology

This volume argues that in the twentieth century, Catholic theology increasingly recognized the centrality of Christology-particularly the person of Christ-as the locus of revelation and drew out the crucial implications for that which occurs within the space of liturgy and the sacraments.

Examining the specific contributions of Reni Latourelle, Avery Dulles, Salvatore Marsilli, and Gustave Martelet against a background of pre-conciliar ressourcement theology, this volume provides a comprehensive account of why a Trinitarian and Christological construal of liturgy and sacraments as revelation is key to the vision that informed Vatican II and offers constructive theological and ecclesial possibilities for the future.
