| Summary: | My most memorable liturgical experience of recent years was a whole Saturday spent in the theatre. Tony Harrison's Nativity, Incarnation, Passion and Doom is based on the medieval cycle of plays but with council sewage workers and other contemporary trades substituting for the extinct guilds. After every part the actors were able to draw their intelligent but buttoned up audience into a round dance of infectious delight., If only we were able to celebrate the eucharistic mystery in this style. Professor Brown acknowledges the problem and, in the second volume of a trilogy which began with God and Enchantment of Place (see JTS, ns 57 [2006], pp. 400–1), he sets about enlarging the field with which theology ought to be concerned. |
