This insightful study offers the first comprehensive overview of the theology and praxis of Roman Catholic theologian Heribert Muhlen. This theologically accurate and historically sensitive book shows that Muhlen has gone beyond his popular early academic exercise by documenting and proposing a liturgical praxis that aims at providing a concrete framework for the acceptance and renewal of the human covenantal relationship with God. In every respect, Muhlen's theology and praxis marks the beginning of a new profile of the Church. A letter and epilogue by Heribert Muhlen are included.

Reviews
[Heribert Muhlen] has much to offer in providing the context of Muhlen's work..., as well as in depth analysis of the development of his thought....[It] offers an insightful and comprehensive discussion of the thought of one of the great Catholic thinkers of the last century... -- Huibert H. Zegwert * Pneuma *
Vondey does a major service to English readers by providing a comprehensive account of Muhlen's theological work and pastoral praxis...a valuable study of Muhlen's theology that offers the only comprehensive account of both his speculative and pastoral work over the past fifty years. -- Elizabeth T. Groppe, Xavier University * The Journal Of Religion *
Vondey's study makes a valuable contribution by revealing the dimension of Muhlen's work least known outside of Germany and most likely to be of lasting importance in the life of the Church. -- John R. Sachs, S.J., Weston Jesuit School of Theology * Theological Studies *
