reviewed Hearing the Call: Liturgy, Justice, Church, and World on May 09, 2017 Hearing the Call
Nicholas Wolterstorff writes with joie de vivre and full of life as he engages in the complex network that is liturgical practice and just engagement. The result is a lovely navigation through the Scriptures, the writings of John Calvin, and plenty of reflections from the Dutch Reformed tradition.
All of Wolterstorff's Kuyperian values manifest in this well-organized collection of essays with utmost grace and style, revealing the heart of a philosopher who has dedicated his life's work to considering the problems of art, justice, liturgy, and philosophy.
Most intriguing, for me, were the sections dedicated most wholly to liturgy and architecture, where Wolterstorff's discourse led me thirsting for more and more discussion on those topics. I long for the liturgical imagination to reborn in the coming generations!
And though Wolterstorff's discussions on politics can be, at times, stubbornly one-sided, I found his commitments to justice and to the Scriptures to be over-and-above the central unifying factor of his writing rather than any individual political commitment. His biographical story recalling an interaction with Allan Boesak, in particular, is utterly compelling.
Altogether, the book is a worthy introduction to the problems of liturgy and justice in such a manner that will cause the pastor-theologian to give pause and reflect on his or her own life and practice. It is the sort of theological book that sits with you and teaches you, rather than just lecturing. And Wolterstorff is, perhaps above all, a great teacher.
