It offers the first book-length study that recovers the eucharistic nature of \u003cem\u003eLaudato si'\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eNo other encyclical has generated as much conversation—both Catholic and non-Catholic—as \u003ci\u003eLaudato si'\u003c\/i\u003e. Often forgotten in these conversations is the theological heart and eucharistic vision of the encyclical and its integral ecology. Even the title of \u003ci\u003eLaudato si'\u003c\/i\u003e—\"Praised be!\"— signals the centrality of right praise in caring for our common home. Using Bernard Lonergan's theology of history, this book unearths the doxological, eucharistic vision that shapes the encyclical's integral presentation of social and ecological conversion. It offers the first book-length study that recovers the eucharistic nature of \u003ci\u003eLaudato si'\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn drawing out the eucharistic vision of \u003ci\u003eLaudato si'\u003c\/i\u003e, the book accomplishes several feats for the reader. It roots the eucharistic dimensions of the encyclical in the writings of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, showing how Pope Francis develops their thought in notable ways. It introduces Bernard Lonergan's theology of history, showing how his framework can capture the eucharistic contours of caring for our common home; so too, in light of \u003ci\u003eLaudato si'\u003c\/i\u003e, does the book expand his theology of history to incorporate both ecological concern and the doxological, eucharistic essence of the church. The book assembles a liturgically shaped, systematic account of the church's social mission. It joins poles otherwise sundered in a polarized church and world: between worship and justice, between concerns for human life and concerns for the natural world. Realizing the eucharistic vision of \u003ci\u003eLaudato si'\u003c\/i\u003e promises much for our contemporary moment. Pope Francis recently observed that the integral ecology of \u003ci\u003eLaudato si'\u003c\/i\u003e holds the key for the world's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. Catholic Bishops recently launched a Eucharistic Revival that aims to rekindle eucharistic devotion and praxis. \u003ci\u003eThe Eucharistic Vision of Laudato Si': Praise, Conversion, and Integral Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e supplies a timely study that helps fulfill these intertwined calls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55125581103478,"sku":"9780813235813","price":26.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_39156669.jpg?v=1770992706","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780813235813-the-eucharistic-vision-of-laudato-s","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
