Contents:
David Brown and Ann Loades -- part 1. The embodied word: incarnation as sacrament. Incarnation as root of the sacramental principle John Macquarrie -- From analysis to overlay : a sacramental approach to christology Frances Young -- Heaven and earth in parallel : the key role of angels in ancient Judaism Robert Hayward -- part 2. Our bodies taken into his : incarnation extended. Baptism as remembered 'ecstatic' identity Wolfhart Pannenberg -- Sacraments of the new society Rowan Williams -- Sacrament as action, not presence Nicholas Wolterstorff -- Transubstantiation : eucharist as pure gift Gerard Loughlin -- Confession and re-formation : Walter Hilton's sacramental theology John Clark -- part 3. Words mediating the word.

Review: "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.
