Description
In this comprehensive study, Michael Lawler incorporates the insights of philosophy, anthropology, biblical and liturgical studies to fashion a theology of sacraments as "prophetic symbols." Reflection on each of the sacraments he presents the significant biblical data, highlights important historical shifts, and notes contemporary revisions of the sacramental rites and current theological developments. With an excellent command of the sources, and employing insights of contemporary sacramental theology, Michael Lawler develops a theology of the sacraments which seeks to respond to the many pressing pastoral issues of today.
