{"product_id":"heavenly-participation-the-weaving-of-a-sacramental-tapestry-9780802865427","title":"Heavenly Participation: The Weaving of a Sacramental Tapestry","description":"Surveying the barriers that contemporary thinking has erected between the natural and the supernatural, between earth and heaven, Hans Boersma issues a wake-up call for Western Christianity. Both Catholics and evangelicals, he says, have moved too far away from a sacramental mindset, focusing more on the \"here-and-now\" than on the \"then-and-there.\" Yet, as Boersma points out, the teaching of Jesus, Paul, and St. Augustine -- indeed, of most of Scripture and the church fathers -- is profoundly \u003ci\u003eotherworldly\u003c\/i\u003e, much more concerned with heavenly participation than with earthly enjoyment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eHeavenly Participation\u003c\/i\u003e Boersma draws on the wisdom of great Christian minds ancient and modern -- Irenaeus, Gregory of Nyssa, C. S. Lewis, Henri de Lubac, John Milbank, and many others. He urges Catholics and evangelicals alike to retrieve a sacramental worldview, to cultivate a greater awareness of eternal mysteries, to partake eagerly of the divine life that transcends and transforms all earthly realities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-1486285\"\u003eHans Boersma\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
