Preface



Introduction to the Problem of Human Suffering in historical context


Rationale for Looking to the Holy Week Liturgies as a Source of theological construction in response to suffering






Reflection on the Cultural of Modernity and Its Valorization of Progress


Proposal that Metz's search for a counter-modern theology might be best pursued through reflection on the Triduum liturgies



Review of the development of early Christian celebration of Easter and the gradual development of the Triduum


Rationale for treating the three liturgies together, in their inter-relationship, as the center of the Christian year, which is crucial to developing a theology that does not reproduce modernist triumphalism



Full analysis of the contemporary Triduum liturgies, using the rites of the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer 1979, with footnote reference to other Rites where helpful Focus will be on the ritual orientation of the relationship between Christ and the liturgical assembly, in the movement from Ash Wednesday to the Triduum



Articulation of a counter-modern soteriology that accounts for human suffering, building upon the analysis of the liturgies in



Placement of this approach to soteriology in the context of classical soteriologies of ransom, satisfaction, theosis, etc. Argument that this soteriology cannot be separated from an ethic of embodiment, thus closing the loop with Metz's concerns for a practical fundamental theology. Placement of this soteriology in the context of contemporary concern for the relationship between liturgy and ethics



Practical "postlude," a pastoral-practical reflection on the arts of celebrating the Triduum in a way that its native soteriological instincts are not submerged by extraneous ritual emendations and practices. This concluding chapter is along the lines of Gordon Lathrop's "pastoral liturgical theology."
