How is Christ present in worship and how is he present in the daily life of the world? Pursuing the Mystery introduces us to the riches of the Mystery-theology of the German theologian Odo Casel, who has been a profound influence on the reform and renewal of Christian worship of recent years.

These insights throw light on everything with which Christianity is concerned, from Sunday worship to Christian social engagement, from inter-faith services to daily life in the world of today. Casel raises a host of questions which this book teases out one by one in an exciting read that step-by-step reveals a huge fund of wisdom providing support and encouragement for the ordinary worshipper.

We have hardly begun to digest the implications of Casel’s insights, and this book, intended both for the expert and the general reader, aims to help us do that, both in our worship and in the way we experience and interact with daily life.
