Holy Ground: A Liturgical Cosmology - Softcover

"Holy Ground is a rare work of theology - at once liturgical, poetic, cosmological, and ethical. This culminating volume of Gordon Lathrop's trilogy focuses the Trinitarian holiness of God so as to illuminate our whole inhabited world." -- Don El Saliers "Emory University"

This latest work from leading liturgical theologian Gordon Lathrop explores the extent to which the central symbols and interactions of Christian liturgy yield, for their participants, a new proposal for their understanding and experience of the world. In the process, it considers various kinds of world-making, the diverse maps, and the differing senses of "cosmology" in which we all live. Finally, the book examines how certain liturgical reforms can contribute to a refreshed sense of ecological ethics-to a Christian sense of the holiness of the earth itself.
