Both Catholics and evangelicals, he says, have moved too far away from a sacramental mindset, focusing more on the \"here-and-now\" than on the \"then-and-there.\" Yet, as Boersma points out, the teaching of Jesus, Paul, and St. Augustine -- indeed, of most of Scripture and the church fathers -- is profoundly \u003ci\u003eotherworldly\u003c\/i\u003e, much more concerned with heavenly participation than with earthly enjoyment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eHeavenly Participation\u003c\/i\u003e Boersma draws on the wisdom of great Christian minds ancient and modern -- Irenaeus, Gregory of Nyssa, C. S. Lewis, Henri de Lubac, John Milbank, and many others. He urges Catholics and evangelicals alike to retrieve a sacramental worldview, to cultivate a greater awareness of eternal mysteries, to partake eagerly of the divine life that transcends and transforms all earthly realities.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 8.98 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45607344963628,"sku":"9780802865427","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/smartsupplydeals.com\/products\/heavenly-participation-the-weaving-of-a-sacramental-tapestry-paperback","provider":"Smart supply deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
