This review is from: Transforming Our Days: Spirituality, Community and Liturgy in a Technological Culture (Paperback)
This is Dr. Gaillardtz's first popular book, after publishing two theological texts on his speciality, the church....ecclesiology. Dr. Gaillardetz is no stranger to tackling ordinary life, however, being a regular contributor to magazines such as Commonweal, America, and US Catholic. In this book, Dr. Gaillardetz mixes his background as a reknown ecclesiologist with that of a faithful father and husband to write an engaging reflection on finding God in the ordinary experiences of 20th century life. He conflates social philosopher Albert Borgman's thought on techonology with a trinitarian model (LaCugna et al.) of God in the world. He then takes this trinitarian model and grounds it in the Christian community and liturgy to bring it to a practical level. This book is an easy-read--full of amusing stories and analogies with everyday experiences that will bring you to a thoughtful relection of your own spirituality and lifestyle. I highly recommend Dr. Gaillardetz's first "spritual" book.
