Reviews
"...comphrensive in scope and very readable for undergraduates. I recommend its use as a basic textbook for undergraduate courses in liturgy and sacraments, as well as for introductory courses in contemporary Catholicism." --Catholic Books Review, "Cooke and Macy have taken an important, difficult task. The range of human symbolism described and the variety of rituals sketched should generate plenty of class discusssion." --Book Reviews, "...comphrensive in scope and very readable for undergraduates. I recommend its use as a basic textbook for undergraduate courses in liturgy and sacraments, as well as for introductory courses in contemporary Catholicism." --Catholic Books Review "When people hear the words 'symbol' or 'ritual,' they often silently supply the word 'mere': 'mere symbol,' 'mere ritual.' This book demonstrates how, in Christian practice, symbols and rituals are never 'mere,' but rather power-laden and effective. Written in accessible, classroom style by two experts in the history and theology of these matters, the book will be of great service to new Christians and to students starting out in the study of religion." -- Geoffrey Wainwright, Cushman Professor of Christian Theology, Duke University "A very accessible, well-written, and inviting introduction by two of the best sacramental theologians writing today. Filled with valuable historical background as well as practical relevance, this book will help teachers and students in a variety of settings to come to grips with the many-faceted dimensions of Christian symbol, ritual and sacrament. At a time when many seek meaningful symbols and rituals outside of the mainstream, this book will help to break open the rich storehouse within the tradition." --Susan A. Ross, Professor of Theology and Faculty Scholar, Loyola University Chicago, "When people hear the words 'symbol' or 'ritual,' they often silently supply the word 'mere': 'mere symbol,' 'mere ritual.'

Synopsis
Existing books on Christian ritual and the sacraments tend to presuppose a good acquaintance with Roman Catholic thought and practice. Today, however, even at Catholic institutions students tend to lack even a basic knowledge of Christian ritual. Moreover, for many modern people the word "ritual" carries negative connotations of rigidity and boredom. In this accessibly-written book two noted authors offer an engaging introduction to this important topic. Their goal is first to demonstrate that celebration, ritual and symbol are already central to the readers' lives, even though most do not see their actions as symbolic or ritualistic. Once this point has been made, the book connects central Christian symbols to the symbols and rituals already present in the readers' lives. The Christian theology of symbol, ritual, and sacrament is thus placed in the context of everyday life. The authors go on to discuss such questions as how rituals establish and maintain power relationships, how "official" rituals are different from other "popular" Christian rituals and devotions, and how Christian rituals function in the process of human "salvation." Their lively yet solidly grounded work will appeal to intelligent lay readers and discussion groups, as well as being useful for courses in ritual and the sacraments at the undergraduate and seminary level., An accessible and engaging introduction to the topic written from a non-denominational perspective, this book shows that celebration, ritual, and symbol are already central to our lives, even though most do not see their actions as symbolic or ritualistic. After discussing the characteristics and functions of rituals, the authors explore different kinds of ritual--including those of friendship, worship, and healing--and they examine such questions as how rituals establish and maintain power relationships, how "official" rituals are different from "popular" Christian rituals and devotions, and how Christian rituals function in the process of human salvation., In Christian Symbol and Ritual, Bernard Cooke and Gary Macy offer an accessible and engaging introduction to the topic written from a non-denominational perspective. Cooke and Macy demonstrate that celebration, ritual, and symbol are already central to our lives, even though most do not see their actions as symbolic or ritualistic. They connect central Christian symbols to the symbols and rituals already present in everyday life and place Christian theology in a familiar context. After discussing the characteristics and functions of rituals, they explore different kinds of ritual, including those of friendship, worship, and healing. The authors also examine such questions as how rituals establish and maintain power relationships, how "official" rituals are different from "popular" Christian rituals and devotions, and how Christian rituals function in the process of human salvation.
