Liturgy and the Arts by Albert Rouet This is just a great book. An orthodox look at the subtle but powerful interplay between liturgy and art, surveying historical points of tension, calling for a reunion based in freedom. Rouet sees liturgy as a work of God's people meant to help create the image of Christ in worshippers, and that art is set free from it's god-like notions of autonomy when it seeks to serve that liturgical goal. If you see worship - and art - as call, change-agent, mystery, and presence, this book will help you navigate these deep waters. 8:17:41 AM    comment []
