About this title

Synopsis

This pioneering work invites readers to embark on a transformative journey through the heart of liturgical worship and scriptural proclamation. It introduces a new tier to biblical hermeneutics, exploring the ways in which the liturgical event and the ecclesial community color the interpretation of Scripture.

Weaving together insights from Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics with the rich tapestry of Catholic liturgy, the author proposes that the meaning of a proclaimed Scripture passage emerges not from an analysis of the text itself, but in the vibrant interplay of multiple horizons—Bible, Lectionary, homilist, and worshiper.

Through a lens of “play” and “festival,” the intricate relationship between tradition and contemporary worship is explored, showcasing how the sensory richness of the Catholic liturgy shapes the interpretation of Scripture. It challenges readers to view the Lectionary as a living text, intimately connected to the worshiping assembly and the modern world.

This thought-provoking work offers both theoretical insights and practical implications for scholars, clergy, and worshipers alike. It inspires a fresh perspective that resonates with the contemporary Catholic experience, guiding worshipers toward a profound engagement with Scripture in the dynamic event of liturgical celebration.
