Books Liturgical Dogmatics: How Catholic Beliefs Flow from Liturgical Prayer  by David Fagerberg (Author)

"Liturgical Dogmatics: How Catholic Beliefs Flow from Liturgical Prayer" by David Fagerberg is a scholarly yet accessible work that explores how Catholic doctrine is deeply rooted and expressed in liturgical worship. The author, a professor of liturgical theology, argues that Catholic dogma—the official teachings of the Church—finds its fullest meaning and realization not merely in abstract ideas but in the lived experience of liturgical prayer and ritual.

The book is especially valuable for liturgical leaders, catechists, seminary instructors, and theology students. Fagerberg demonstrates how key Christian beliefs, such as the Trinity, revelation, sin, redemption, and ecclesiology, are celebrated and enacted through the Church’s liturgy. He emphasizes that liturgy is the heart of Christian existence—a dynamic participation in the mystery of Christ that engages the mind, body, and soul.
