This book seeks to trace the emergence of the traditional concept of a sacrament in the Christian and especially the Catholic, tradition. It goes on to analyze the keys suggested for the understanding and interpretation of the liturgy articulated by lecturers at the Pontifical Institute of Liturgical Studies, Rome. This book suggests how these keys can be rooted in the tradition of Thomas Aquinas and can be further developed in the context of Teilhard de Chardin to envision a cosmic liturgy. Finally, the book insists that sacraments are not a concept, but always a celebration in the community.
