Models of Liturgy in an Ecumenical Age
A Paradigm Shift from Transubstantiation to the Heavenly Sanctuary
Description
What role has transubstantiation played in historical and contemporary liturgical conflicts? How might liturgical definitions of the divine presence open space for, or deny, meaningful interdenominational interaction?
The primary goal of this book is to explore interpretations of the divine presence in liturgy, specifically how God's presence connects with and impacts other key liturgical components. In contrast to the widely accepted Sacramental, Kerygmatic, and Charismatic Models, Karl Tsatalbasidis offers something new: the Biblical Sanctuary Model. Applying a phenomenological exegesis to selected Old and New Testament passages, the Biblical Sanctuary Model reveals that the Biblical view of the divine presence temporally grounds the relationship between all the components of liturgy and, in doing so, points to a unified liturgy
