Cultural Liturgies Boxed Set Av James K. A. Smith

This boxed set includes all three volumes from James K. A. Smith''s highly acclaimed Cultural Liturgies series: <i>Desiring the Kingdom</i>, <i>Imagining the Kingdom</i>, and <i>Awaiting the King</i>.<br/><br/>In <i>Desiring the Kingdom</i> (winner of a <i>Christianity Today </i>Book Award), Smith casts a new vision for worldview through the lens of Christian liturgy, re-visioning education through the process and practice of worship.<br/><br/><i>Imagining the Kingdom </i>shows how worship works in shaping us through liturgical practices. Smith helps us understand and appreciate the bodily basis of habit formation and how liturgical formation--both "secular" and Christian--affects our fundamental orientation to the world. <br/><br/><i>Awaiting the King </i>explores the religious nature of politics and the political nature of Christian worship, sketching how the worship of the church propels us to be invested in forging the common good.
