Add to basketIn honor of Teresa Berger, we are invited to consider the heights and the depths of worship in communion with creation.
What if at the heart of the created universe lives the worship and praise of the Creator? And what if everything created finds its fulfillment in turning to this Creator God in worship? In a time of environmental crisis, Psalm 148 is a bold reminder that all of creation―heavenly beings, stars and planets, earth’s landforms and water bodies, flora and fauna, humans young and old―have a capacity for worship, to join in praise to and of their Maker.
Written in honor of the prolific liturgical theologian Teresa Berger, the essays included in this collection affirm this biblical witness in studies theological, liturgical, and artistic by offering perspectives and examples from Christian antiquity to the present and by identifying ritual and musical expressions from both the Christian East and West. The contributors also consider the cosmic and the earthly, to recognize the heights and the depths of worship in communion with creation. Berger’s 2025 Berakah Award address to the members of the North American Academy of Liturgy is also included.
