The People of God - Paperback
by Anscar Vonier (Author)
In The People of God, Abbot Vonier gives a biblical and Catholic account of Church's covenantal life and activities that define her as a "people," a "kingdom," and a "Church." Beginning with the literary imagery and historical unfolding of "the people of God" throughout the Old Testament, Vonier shows how the fulfillment of Israel in the Christian Chruch involves a public and liturgical life essential to her special identity as a morally unified people.
His enlightening exposition of the Lord's Prayer and study of the Sacraments further show how the liturgical elements of the Christian life belong to the Church's eternal identity, so that "Where there is an altar, there is the people of God."
Dom Anscar Vonier, Abbot of Buckfast, was among England's greatest homilists and theologians in the early twentieth century. His many classic works include A Key to the Doctrine of the Eucharist, The Personality of Christ, and Christianus: The Form of the Catholic Person.
