"Mary
as Liturgical Person".
A lecture by David Fagerberg
organised in
association with the ESBVM.
The Oxford
Oratory,
25 Woodstock Rd, Oxford,
7.30 pm on Thursday 27 November.
Dr David
Fagerberg is Associate Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame. After
doing his doctorate at Yale, Dr Fagerberg's area of study has been liturgical
theology: its definition and methodology, sacramental theology, and
liturgiology. His work has explored how the Church's lex
credendi (law of belief) is grounded on the Church's lex
orandi (law of prayer) - liturgy as the trysting place where God and
humanity meet. Liturgical asceticism is the front on which he works now,
exploring how liturgy, theology and asceticism mutually interpenetrate.
Additional interests include Eastern Orthodoxy, linguistic and scholastic
philosophy, and the English writer G. K. Chesterton. Dr Fagerberg's published
books are What is Liturgical Theology? (Pueblo 1992), The Size of Chesterton's
Catholicism (Notre Dame, 1998), and Theologia Prima: What is Liturgical
Theology? 2nd edition (Hillenbrand Press, Fall 2003). His articles have
appeared in such journals as Worship, Second Spring, America, New Blackfriars,
Pro Ecclesia, Diakonia, Touchstone, and Antiphon. He was the Richardson Fellow
at Durham University, U.K. in 1996 and is currently on the editorial board of
The Chesterton Review, as well as a contributing editor to Gilbert Magazine.
