5.0 out of 5 stars awesome ecclesial and sacramental perspectives

this is a resource for liturgical renewal and Catholic sacramental theology - and it's a very good one - well known in the field. I was glad to get another copy after having lost my original to a "borrower."

Interesting to read this and see how much the author both anticipated and helped shape Vatican II. All the more relevant with all the current attempts to undo that momentous Council.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Synthesis
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2007
In the visual West, we have a tendency to segment much that we do into spheres of specialization, much to the detriment of the whole, while much to the aggrandizement of the parts. The dynamic between the part and the whole has often been a problem in Catechesis in the Catholic Church, often teaching subjects like "sacramental theology" in such a way that it is only briefly related to the wider realms of Ecclesiology, Christology, and Soteriology (let alone the varied other psychological, sociological, etc. relations). While perhaps in one area or during one time period some of these relationships are made, nowhere have I ever read as fine of a synthesis as in this text by Schillebeeckx.

The greatest strength in Schillebeeckx's discussion is derived from the fact that he approaches the questions of sacramental theology by always reminding the reader that the primary Sacrament is the person of Jesus Christ. The implication is that Christology is the font of all sacramental theology, for Christ is the visible face of God on Earth. (To use the somewhat-scholastic phrase: He is the visible manifestation of the invisible Father.) However, by placing the sacraments in something of a subordinate role to Christ, the question of continuation is raised. It is in this way that the nature of the Church, as the Body of Christ, is explained in wholly sacramental terms, as the extension of Christ's resurrected body through time. It is from this point that the author reflects upon the nature of ecclesial action, the relationship between objective and subjective reception of the sacraments, the nature of the priesthood in relationship to the sacramental life of the Church (and Christ), and the effects of sacramental grace.

On the whole, the text is very accessible, even to one who is untrained in theology. I think that such a unified synthesis (although somewhat abridged from its full form) provides an excellent view of the Church and of Christ as the visible manifestation of God's grace in the world to this very day in the Sacraments.
