"Liturgical Dogmatics examines dogma in light of liturgy. It is not a theology of liturgy, because it does not look at liturgy; rather, it looks through liturgy to see the whole sweeping saving activity of God, which dogma describes. Through this lens the author illuminates thirty-six classic dogmas in a readable and sometimes imaginative way. He shows that while dogma protecs the mystery of divine love from heretical corruption, its final goal is achieved when the believer is united to that mystery in liturgical worship."--Inside front cover.
