Description

Introducing readers to the contemporary field of sacramental theology, T&T Clark Handbook of Sacraments and Sacramentality covers the biblical and historical foundations, a survey of the state of the discipline, and a collection of constructive essays representing major themes, practices, and approaches to sacraments and sacramentality in the contemporary world.

The volume starts with a set of foundational essays that offer a broad introduction to the field of sacramental theology from contemporary scholars, analysing a number of historical figures to illumine and inform contemporary sacramental theology.

The second part of the volume is dedicated to a series of essays on sacramentality, including attention to elements of space, time, ritual action, music, and word, all as aspects of what Christians have termed "sacramental" reality.

The third set of essays includes attention to each of the seven practices most commonly termed "sacraments" in Christian traditions: baptism; eucharist/Lord’s Supper; confirmation; confession, forgiveness and reconciliation; marriage; ordination; and anointing.

The final part of T&T Clark Handbook of Sacraments and Sacramentality features scholars working on sacraments in conversation with contemporary academic disciplines: critical race theory, queer theory, comparative theology, and disability studies.
