O knihe

Sacraments speak a language and disclose their power through
symbols. Beyond "representing" another reality, sacramental
symbols are intimately connected with the reality they express and
sources of joy, solace, confrontation, peace, healing, strength, and
life-giving sustenance to the initiated.
Sacraments and Justice describes the social implications of
worship, the history of each sacrament, and reveals how the seven
sacraments-baptism, confi rmation, Eucharist, penance, marriage,
orders, and the anointing of the sick-link to social justice. It offers
an integrated understanding of the transformation that is inextricably
linked to each sacrament, as well as the active presence of
Christ who lives in expectation of our response to participate in the
urgent response to unjust policies and systems that affect the most
vulnerable in our global family.
Educated Catholics, or Catholics looking for a fi rst-rate education
on the sacraments, as well as parish teams, study groups, and
Catholic educators, will fi nd this volume to be solid and incisive
while at the same time accessible and engaging. Each contributor
is an academic who writes with a human touch about the gracious
promise embedded in sacraments. They include:
. John F. Baldovin, SJ, on baptism
. Edward P. Hahnenberg on confi rmation
. Michael S. Driscoll on Eucharist
. Doris Donnelly on penance
. Thomas J. Scirghi, SJ, on holy orders
. Natalie Kertes Weaver on marriage
. Paul Turner on anointing of the sick
Doris Donnelly, PhD, is professor of theology at John Carroll
