Cultural Liturgies #1: Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation

by James K A Smith

Cultural Liturgies #1: Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Malls, stadiums, and universities are actually liturgical structures that influence and shape our thoughts and affections. Humans--as Augustine noted--are desiring agents, full of longings and passions; in brief, we are what we love. James K. A. Smith focuses on the themes of liturgy and desire in Desiring the Kingdom, the first book in what will be a three-volume set on the theology of culture. He redirects our yearnings to focus on the greatest good: God. Ultimately, Smith seeks to re-vision education through the process and practice of worship. Students of philosophy, theology, worldview, and culture will welcome Desiring the Kingdom, as will those involved in ministry and other interested readers.

Synopsis:

In the first of a three-volume systematic theology of culture, leading Reformed philosopher James K. A. Smith casts a new vision for worldview through the lens of Christian liturgy.
