Drawing on important work by Durkheim, Bauman, Foucault, Turner, Duffy, Flanagan and Pickstock, David Torevell focuses on the most crucial element of Catholic worship - the experience of the sacred - and examines how it has been eroded since pre-modern times, largely due to the marginalisation of ritual expression, and its consequences.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">David Torevell</note> <subject> <topic>Worship</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Catholic Church -- Theology -- History -- 20th century</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Liturgics -- History</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">264.02</classification> <classification authority="ddc">T678-D25</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0567084469, 9780567084460</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13678/056708446901-sx180-sclzzzzzzz.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13678/056708446901-sx180-sclzzzzzzz.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071258.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
