Résumé
--
'This book, a synthesis of Christianity, is full of science (...], a lesson in spiritual life drawn directly from the authentic"Christian Sources", the Christian mystery [reduced] to its purest, most constant, eternal elements [...]. As it informs us, it also teaches: it provides ideas, but also shows how to find our own it shows how - much better than a method! - to read the texts with intelligence, admiration, accompany them with prayer, live them, speak of them.' So Dom Jean Leclercq expressed his admiration and enthusiasm when Louis Bouyer's first important work was published in 1946. It was also one of his most inspired works, and one of the most widely distributed. Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger said of this book: 'You can see the genius that seizes the essence in a new way, drawing the substance of the Revelation and its expression in Tradition.' Like 'La Bible et l'Évangile', this is one of those rare works which transmit the freshness of a discovery, stimulating a new awareness among Christians. It would be difficult to categorize this book, which combines erudition, theological depth, spiritual force and mystical tension. On the one hand, it expresses the desire and the passionate search for living liturgy by multiplying descriptions and ritual precision - even though it deals with ceremonies that have changed a lot since it was written - and on the other, it offers a wealth of discerning theological notes. Through this treasure, an on-going tradition is expressed."
