In
Search of the Sacred
Contributions to An Answer
Author: Josef Pieper
This book is neither a deriding of the worldly "profane" nor a splitting up of reality into a supposedly unholy realm over against one which alone is consecrated to God.
But something
which threatens to be forgotten, to disappear from the memory of man is fixed
upon here: namely, that in this world which is given us as our life's environment,
not only does the striving to take care of our daily needs possess an obvious
right, as well the marketplace, the economy, scholarly research etc.; but in
their very midst there is something in the fullest sense "beyond"
our daily concerns: "God's tent" among men, the sanctuary where, set
off from the round of daily work, the bodily presence of the eternal Logos become
man is honored and celebrated.
"We must in the liturgy retrieve the dimension of the sacred."
— Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
"Josef
Pieper is proof that some grow wise as well as old. This book is typical of
the deceptively modest meditations that have won him a world-wide audience.
`Is nothing sacred anymore?' is a plaintive question often heard. Pieper enables
us to see what a thoroughly secularized culture has lost and at the same time
he draws attention to the Church, the altar, the Eucharist."
— Ralph McInerny, University of Notre Dame
"Josef
Pieper's profound insights are impressive and even formidable."
— New York Times Book Review
