Rev. Joseph Loya published a book chapter, “’Upon Us and Upon These Offered Gifts’: Ecclesio-epicletic Graces in Byzantine Divine Liturgies,” in Christopher Cimorelli and Daniel Minch, Daniel (Eds.), One Bread, One Body, One Church: The Ecclesia of Christ Today. Annua Nuntia Lovaniensia, Peeters Press, April 13, 2021.

About the book and chapter: How does the church come from Jesus? Previously, this was a much clearer and more settled question. It could be answered from dogmatic conclusions, rather than from historical investigation. Since the methodological revolutions in Catholic theology of the twentieth century that initiated hermeneutical processes of self-discovery, potential answers to this question are far less stable and comprehensive. The recovery of past elements of tradition and the uncertainty of the future demand creative answers to the challenges facing the church regarding its identity. This volume, prepared in honor of Bernard P. Prusak (Villanova U.), attempts to constructively explore the question of 'how' the church comes from Jesus. Fr. Joe’s contribution to the volume is located in the section that investigates the identity of the church and what it means to encounter God's revelation in history, featuring contributions from biblical, liturgical, and systematic theologians on topics ranging from scriptural metaphors to receptions of the Second Vatican Council.
