Description: A House of Meanings by Juan M.C. Oliver A plain language exploration of the theology of worship FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A plain language exploration of the theology of worship. Professional theological terminology is often inaccessible to the average Christian. A House of Meanings presents liturgical theology in accessible ways, free of technical language. The book is designed for individual reading and structured to be a resource for a series of parish workshops, especially during the Easter season. Chapters conclude with a discussion guide intended to assist parishioners in developing their own sense of the value of worship and its relationship to our daily lives.

With the fluency of an experienced pastor, teacher, and scholar and the courage of a well-formed faith, Juan provides a roadmap from worship to daily life and back again. His genius is knowing the tradition so well that seeker and bishop will find what they are looking for." —Lisa Kimball, PhD, James Maxwell Professor of Lifelong Christian Formation, Virginia Seminary "At the heart of Christian ritual is faith—faith in Jesus, the incarnate Son of God—but for many Christians, ritual can risk becoming a meaningless routine, leaving clergy and laity alike wondering what does all this mean? Juan Oliver offers us the gift of disclosure of meaning in this most helpful volume."—Louis Weil, James F. Hodges Professor of Liturgics Emeritus at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific "AHouse of Meanings offers an evocative and accessible resource for practical liturgical formation, hitting some truly important notes: that the meanings of worship are many, not one; that they are meaning made by someone in the company of others; that they are made in conversation with the riches of the living tradition we practice. What a gem this book is!" —James Farwell, Virginia Theological Seminary"Dr. Oliver has given us a clear and accessible resource for the study of liturgy and how it works. This volume will be invaluable to parish clergy as the basis for parish study groups and liturgy committee work. Seminarians and seasoned clergy will find it full of both helpful reminders and fresh insights." —J.
