The central theme of the book is the life-creating communication between God and human beings. Part 1 deals with God's invitation to humanity to enter the divine fullness of life. This is God's descent or \"katabasis.\" Part II is concerned with humanity's acceptance of the invitation--the human ascent to God or \"anabasis.\" Following this extensive treatment of the general nature of Christian liturgy are four sections devoted to particular subjects: the celebration of the Eucharist, the celebration of the sacraments, the liturgy of the hours and other services of the Word, and, finally, the liturgical year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45082879033495,"sku":"9780826413536","price":5161.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780826413536.webp?v=1767263482","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/churchs-liturgy-9780826413536","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
