Sinopsis del Libro

2021 Catholic Media Association Award honorable mention award in liturgy Authenticity is a value difficult to define but impossible to ignore in contemporary life. The desire for authentic experience pervades art, music, food, dating, marketing, and politics. Worship is no exception: Vatican documents, megachurch websites, pastors, and liturgy planners all make competing claims to offer the genuine article. But what makes liturgy authentic? What distinguishes real celebration from artificial spectacle, heartfelt prayer from empty ritualism, a living tradition from both stagnation and gimmickry? Can today’s Christians perform the liturgy so that it is not a mere performance but a sincere offering of their whole selves? In this book, Nathaniel Marx argues that the defining characteristic of authentic liturgy is harmony. Authentic liturgy happens when the minds of participants are in tune with their voices. The call for worshipers to harmonize their inward and outward offerings of prayer is discernible in the Bible, in the history of Christian prayer, and in diverse efforts to invigorate communal worship today. Marx’s argument unfolds the meaning of this call to authentic worship through a provocative and wide-ranging study incorporating scriptural exegesis, liturgical history, anthropology of ritual, and philosophy of action. He argues that authenticity is not a modern buzzword but an ancient virtue essential to worshiping in a spirit of communion.

Desde la religión a Cristo

Hace dos mil años, bajo la cubierta de una noche oscura, un rabino judío se acercó a un hombre mucho más joven que él, para inquirir sobre asuntos que le inquietaban grandemente. Esa conversación en aquella noche entre Nicodemo y Jesús es el tema de este libro. El autor se preocupa por las millones de personas que se encuentran en la misma condición hoy en día: ser religiosos y sinceros, pero perdidos. Por una lectura cuidadosa y sencilla, puede que Dios use este libro para abrir los ojos de mucha gente para ver la vanidad y vaciedad de su vida religiosa, para encontrar la plena...
