In this work, married lay theologian José M. de Mesa, attempts to make sense of the reality of "sacrament" in the Judeo-Christian Tradition within the world feel of the Filipino Culture. He first discerns and analyzes constant theological elements present in the Western Churches' cultural expressions of sacramentality. He utilizes these as guide not only to articulate God's sacramental presence through the Filipino concept of bakas, but also to ensure the fidelity of this local expression to the Tradition.
A Philippine import. Limited copies available.
