Book Review: Remembering the Future: The Experience of Time in Jewish and Christian Liturgy ATR/99.4 846 Anglican Theological Review Remembering the Future: The Experience of Time in Jewish and Christian Liturgy. By Emma O’Donnell. Collegeville, Minn.: Li- turgical Press, 2015. xiv + 210 pp. $24.95 (paper). This book is an excellent contribution to the contemporary liturgical- theological discussion focused on the recovery of eschatological imagina- tion. With her Jewish background and practicing Christian faith, Emma O’Donnell is eminently qualified to address the similarities and differences characterizing both traditions as they “are intimately related to the element of time.” (p. 3) Her scholarship in regard to both Judaism and Christianity is wide-ranging and aptly applied to establishing her central point, namely, that “the consciousness of time allows the present to be infused with the past and the future and its boundaries to be opened into a transformed liturgical present” (p. 115). Presented in five parts of two chapters each, and bracketed with a pref- ace and epilogue, the book benefits by drawing biographically upon the ar - ticulated experience of those who pray in both Jewish and Christian contexts as well as presenting and explicating theological reflection from scholars of both traditions.

Abstract

ATR/99.4 846 Anglican Theological Review Remembering the Future: The Experience of Time in Jewish and Christian Liturgy. By Emma O’Donnell.
