Book Response: Desiring the Kingdom, by James K. A. Smith

May 17, 2016 by Tom Grosh IV No Comments

Smith’s “core claim . . . is that liturgies—whether ‘sacred’ or ‘secular’—shape and constitute our identities by forming our most fundamental desires and our most basic attunement to the world. . . . [i.e.,] liturgies make us certain kinds of people, and what defines us is what we love” (25)

James K.A. Smith on “Liturgical Discipleship”

June 7, 2014 by Tom Grosh IV No Comments

Book Review: Desiring the Kingdom

December 31, 2013 by Bob Trube No Comments
