Theologia Prima (eBook)

The doctrine of justification is of highest importance for evangelical theology. But regarding their understanding of liturgy Orthodox and Roman-Catholic churches seem to be more aware of the priority of God's doing than protestant churches. This book, building on ecumenical liturgical theology from North America and from Italy, suggests the possibility for the churches of the Reformation to find in the worship service the place where justification can become actual experience. Recent anthropological studies, as presented in Italian liturgical theology, lead to an understanding of the liturgical experience which integrates bodily and intellectual dimensions and might even open up to new ways of intercultural dialogue.
