Social Themes of the Christian Year Paperback – January 1, 1983

by Dieter T. Hessel

For each of the liturgical seasons authors from various denominations provide commentaries on socially significant theological themes, interpreting clusters of texts that span the three-year cycle of the ecumenical lectionary for the Christian year. An educator-liturgist then recounts the message of the season and, building on the biblical exposition of the preceding essays, proposes symbolic actions in worship, methods of learning, and occasions for action that embody the social themes.
