Providing a metaphysical grounding for liturgical participation, this book argues that "active participation" in the liturgy must be understood principally as our participation in God's act, particularly in the act of Christ, and only secondarily as our ritual involvement. Utilizing Neoplatonist philosophy, Kjetil Kringlebotten proposes that this should be understood in terms of theurgy, which is the human participation in divine action, which finds its consummation in the incarnation of Christ. Without the incarnation all acts will remain extrinsic and imposed but acts can become real and intrinsic precisely because the incarnation makes possible true union with the divine, a metaphysical union-in-distinction, without confusion, because this union is not extrinsic. Through union with Christ, as the one common focus of the divine-human relation, we can have true union with God and may offer true worship. In order to make sense of active participation, then, we need to understand theology in theurgic terms, where theurgy is understood not as a mechanical "coercion" of God but as a participation in His act, in creation and through Christ as the true theurgist, the "master theurgist," Whose work transforms our act and the liturgy.

It has always been understood that the central claim of Christianity—that Jesus born of Mary is the Son of God—is as much a declaration of the mystery of the human as it is the mystery of God; just as the claim that in virtue of this identity he is the Christ who restores, and more, transforms, the created order, intensifies the mystery of the human even further. When the age of revolution was followed by the age of science, and the effort to shape the environment by technology was joined by an injunction to shape societies and economies, and class conflicts became part of world conflicts, the question about the human emerged as a crisis in the meaning of being human. Yet the Catholic mind, preoccupied like every other with the crisis, has conducted its reflection within a tradition of Christian humanism, insisting on the mystery and the tragedy, and still the dignity, of the human. This collection of essays by thirteen Catholic scholars of philosophy, theology, and political thought investigates a range of topics from human sexuality and marriage to moral freedom and responsibility in a pluralistic society, while demonstrating that the Gospel, passed on in an ecclesial tradition, entered into through a sacramental tradition, remains the one radical source of confidence in the quest for human truth.

In Anbetracht einer anstehenden Revision der bisherigen Trauagenden nimmt ein Beitrag deren historische Traditionen, die Begriffe Verlobung und Trauung, das Verhältnis von staatlichem und kirchlichem Handeln, die theologischen Verständnisse von Ehe ebenso wie die Vermittlung von Tradition und Situation in den Blick. Schulgottesdienst und geistliches Leben am Lern- und Lebensort evangelischer Schulen unter Berücksichtigung der sechsten Kirchenmitgliedschaftsuntersuchung sind Thema des zweiten liturgischen Beitrags. Der Autor fragt nicht nur danach, was Religionsunterricht leisten kann und was nicht, sondern fragt auch nach den Besonderheiten und dem Auftrag evangelischer Schulen. Die hymnologischen Beiträge befassen sich mit Leben und Werk von Daniel Herrnschmidt, dem Autor des heute noch gesungenen Liedes Lobe den Herren, o meine Seele, mit den Liedern in den Gottesdiensten Friedrich Schleiermachers 1830–1834, dem Berner Gesangbuch von 1853 und seiner Vorgeschichte, einer Legende über die Entstehung des Liedes Macht hoch die Tür und dem Berliner Gesangbuch von 1657/58 innerhalb der reformierten Tradition. Literaturberichte zur Liturgik und Hymnologie sowie Strophen- und Personenregister runden das Jahrbuch ab.

Central to the lives of the religiously committed are not simply religious convictions but also religious practices. The religiously committed, for example, regularly assemble to engage in religious rites, including corporate liturgical worship. Although the participation in liturgy is central to the religious lives of many, few philosophers have given it attention. In this collection of essays, Terence Cuneo turns his attention to liturgy, contending that the topic proves itself to be philosophically rich and rewarding. Taking the liturgical practices of Eastern Christianity as its focal point, Ritualized Faith examines issues such as what the ethical importance of ritualized religious activities might be, what it is to immerse oneself in such activities, and what the significance of liturgical singing and iconography are. In doing so, Cuneo makes sense of these liturgical practices and indicates why they deserve a place in the religiously committed life.

Neoplatonic Demons and Angels is a collection of eleven studies which examine, in chronological order, the place reserved for angels and demons not only by the main Neoplatonic philosophers (Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, and Proclus), but also in Gnosticism, the Chaldaean Oracles, Christian Neoplatonism, especially by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. This volume originates from a panel held at the 2014 ISNS meeting in Lisbon, but is supplemented by a number of invited papers.
