Meeting Mystery: Liturgy, Worship, Sacraments

by Nathan D Mitchell

Overview

Nathan Mitchell's book serves as both an introduction to liturgy, worship, and the sacraments for students and an adventure that guides the reader to the place where God's surprising self is revealed and the human soul is moved to awe and love.

Demonstrating how ritual is integral to human identity, Meeting Mystery invites us to excavate depths concealed by modern life, and to recover the harmony of the "liturgy of the church" and the "liturgy of the world." To recover those depths is to learn that worship can surprise and lead us to the divine depths of creation.
