“I Will Show Myself Holy” (Lev 10:3): Essays on the Manifestations of the Sacred on the Occasion of the 65th Birthday of Mózes Nóda
Synopsis
This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of the diverse ways in which the Sacred reveals itself through liturgy, rituals, and spiritual practices. Comprising twenty-seven scholarly contributions, the volume examines the multifaceted nature of the Sacred across six thematic dimensions: liturgical actions and practices, the transformative power of the spoken word, sacred time and space, the celebration of festivals and mysticism, the presence of angels and saints, and the spiritual pathways of prayer and devotion. Additionally, the volume extends its scope by addressing a specific aspect of ecclesiastical practice, providing a rich and interdisciplinary perspective. This collection not only honors the intellectual legacy of Moses Nóda but also advances the scholarly understanding of the Sacred's manifestations in religious life and practice.
