The sacred community : art, sacrament & the people of God

Liturgical, sacramental, and historical, The Sacred Community is a masterful work of theological aesthetics.

David Jasper draws upon a rich variety of texts and images from literature, art, and religious tradition to explore the liturgical community gathered around - and most fully constituted by - the moment of the Sanctus in the Eucharistic liturgy.

From art and architecture to pilgrimage and politics Jasper places this community in the midst of the contemporary world.
