Autorenporträt
Fr. Jake Empereur, S.J., vicar and liturgist at the San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio, Texas, was for many years a professor of systematic and liturgical theology at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley and the Graduate Theological Union. During that time he founded the Institute for Spirituality and Worship, a nine-month renewal program which has trained people from all around the world. He was also the founding editor of Modern Liturgy Magazine that still continues today under the name of Ministry and Liturgy. At Berkeley he was very much involved in the area of theology and the arts. He also taught courses in the enneagram and spiritual direction. In 1994 he moved to San Antonio, Texas, to work in Hispanic ministry at the San Fernando Cathedral and to be the cathedral liturgist. There he continues his work in teaching and writing while being engaged as a full time parish priest. He is the author of several books and articles in the field of liturgy and sacraments. His latest books are The Enneagram and Spiritual Direction and Spiritual Direction and the Gay Person. His latest book with the title of La Vida Sacra: Hispanic Sacramental Theology should appear in 2006. Christopher G. Kiesling is also the author of _The Spirit and Practice of the Liturgy_, _The Future of the Christian Sunday_, and _Celibacy, Prayer, and Friendship_.
Rezensionen
La Vida Sacra is an exceptional, welcome, and timely work. Its ambitious and focused examination weaves together cosmic sacramentality, pastoral practice, and culturally relevant understandings of ministry. It speaks from a particular setting in a way that makes it must reading for anyone interested in contextualized ministry in the shifting currents of the twenty-first century. -- Edwin David Aponte, professor of Religion and Culture and Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean, Lancaster Theological Seminary The authors do a fine job not only of examining and analyzing experience but also incorporating the scholarly insights of, among others, a wide variety of U.S. Hispanic theologians and liturgists...For anyone seeking a broader approach and willing to enter into the Hispanic perspective provided by the authors, it is a pioneering work well worth studying and provides a well-grounded theological understanding of an important aspect of sacramentality. -- Raul Gomez-Ruiz, S.D.S. Worship Bridging the divide between pastoral and academic theologies, the book brings the spiritual and theological resources of a marginalized people to bear on the larger Catholic tradition in a way that can only enhance our appreciation of the richness of the sacramentality of both the people and of the overall tradition. The book would make an excellence text for graduate, seminary, or upper-division undergraduate courses. Theological Studies This contemporary Hispanic sacramental theology is both pastoral and spiritual. The book would make an excellent text for graduate courses in sacramental theology. The Americas: A Quarterly Review Of Inter-American Cultural, October 2008 By as early as 2030, one in four Americans will be of Hispanic descent, no doubt influencing how we do church in the U.S. When we consider the rapid increase in numbers of Hispanic congregations and Latino/as within predominantly Euroamerican churches, we are struck with the lack of attention given by the academy to pastoral practices rooted in the Hispanic experience. Drs. Fernandez and Empereur masterfully explore church sacraments and rituals conducted from a community-based Latina/o perspective. Not only is this book required reading for anyone wishing to be sensitive to the spiritual needs of the Hispanic community, but it also challenges non-Hispanics to consider what they can learn from Latino/as so Euroamericans can better enrich their own spiritual lives. -- Miguel De La Torre, Director of the Justice and Peace Institute and Associate Professor of Social Ethics, Iliff School of Theology…mehr
