Introduction: the divine poet part 1. The embodied word: incarnation as sacrament. Incarnation as root of the sacramental principle From analysis to overlay : a sacramental approach to christology Heaven and earth in parallel : the key role of angels in ancient Judaism part 2. Our bodies taken into his : incarnation extended. Baptism as remembered 'ecstatic' identity Sacraments of the new society Sacrament as action, not presence Transubstantiation : eucharist as pure gift Confession and re-formation : Walter Hilton's sacramental theology part 3. Words mediating the word. Ritual and the sacrament of the word Balthasar's sacramental spirituality and Hopkins' poetry of nature : the sacrifice imprinted upon nature The world, the flesh and the spirit : love as sacramental in Spenser and other poets The romantic tradition and the sacrament of the present moment : Wordsworth and Tillich David Brown and Ann Loades -- John Macquarrie -- Frances Young -- Robert Hayward -- Wolfhart Pannenberg -- Rowan Williams -- Nicholas Wolterstorff -- Gerard Loughlin -- John Clark -- Stephen Sykes -- John Riches -- David Fuller -- Peter Phillips.
"Christ: The Sacramental Word examines three key areas and argues that in each the notion of Word functions sacramentally. The necessary foundations are laid in the perception of Christ as the sacramental Word made flesh; that understanding is then applied in the other two sections to the way in which words are used in the celebration of the sacraments and in our enjoyment of poetry. Along the way the reader is offered an original and vigorous defence of the doctrine of the incarnation (Frances Young), the identification of sacramental elements in ancient Judaism (Robert Hayward), and two powerful expositions of the social character of Christian sacramentality (Wolfhart Pannenberg and Rowan Williams), as well as illuminating discussion of figures as varied as Balthasar, Calvin, Heidegger, Hopkins, Tillich and Wordsworth."--BOOK JACKET.
