Bücher von Christopher Irvine

Gives an account of various movements in art and their relation to the visual and in churches and in liturgy, for example the Franciscan movement, different approaches to the crucifixion, the restoration of creation. It recovers the links between the cross and creation, and relates the baptismal covenant to a commitment to care for creation.

Attempts to set the place of symbols in the context of our contemporary cultural and to elucidate an understanding of liturgical symbols. This book also aims to provide some theological and historical background to the symbols and then to offer practical guidance as to the place and use of symbols in the whole range of Common Worship services.
