Augustine¡¯s Liturgical Spirituality
The majority of contemporary presentations of Augustine¡¯s spirituality focus on the interior, personal dimensions of prayer and contemplation. This article argues that Augustine also has a rich but underappreciated liturgical spirituality, wherein regular participation in the liturgy, with its external and ecclesial elements, is important for Christian spiritual formation and expression. Examining a variety of texts from the Augustinian corpus, this article outlines major themes in Augustine¡¯s liturgical spirituality and encourages further scholarly engagement with this theme.
