Description
Résumé:This article examines Engelhardt's thesis from the standpoint of liturgical theology. Fagerberg's previous work has claimed that liturgy gives birth to theology (lex orandi statuat lex credendi) in such a way that liturgy is the ontological condition for theology, as Schmemann said. If we apply this approach to the question at hand, we will understand liturgy to be the source and foundation also for Christian morality. This is no particular surprise, since the Christian tradition has always integrated liturgy, theology, and asceticism, that last named treating morality as a pathway to deification. Liturgical theology views liturgy as a pneumatic exercise that makes theologian souls, and liturgical asceticism understands such theologian souls to be molded by the doings of the body, and this delivers us to the threshold of liturgical morality, for in liturgy the God's-eye perspective shares its light with us.
