Catherine Pickstock shows how Platonic philosophy did not assume a primacy of metaphysical presence, as had previously been thought, but rather a primacy of liturgical theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author also provides a significant rethinking of Christian understandings of language, temporal and bodily life, and notions of the presence of God by discussing Christian understandings of liturgical practice, especially in the Medieval and pre-Enlightenment era. Through a detailed reading of Plato's \u003cem\u003ePhaedrus\u003c\/em\u003e, the medieval Roman Rite, and a discussion of the theology of the Eucharist, the book indicates directions for the restoration of the liturgical order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be required reading for all systematic and philosophical theologians and their students, in addition to being of great interest to liturgists, historians, and linguists. The ideas presented in the book are both significant in themselves and of great use at a teaching level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460122263788,"sku":"9780631206729","price":104.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780631206729-after-writing.jpg?v=1774944201"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/catherine-pickstock.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
