In Liturgy and Personality, Dr. Hildebrand explores the relationship between liturgy and healthy personalities through a comprehensive study of the subject. Written in an engaging style and backed with rigorous research and evidence, this book effectively highlights how the Church forms individuals into spiritually sound people with strong characters. Drawing upon the insights that he has accumulated over his many years of working inside the Church, Hildebrand advances an important argument: that in its pursuit to honor God with its rituals, the Church is also providing an invaluable formation for personal growth on multiple levels – physical, spiritual and psychological.

This groundbreaking work covers an array of topics as it delves deep into this profound subject matter. It approaches it from scientific angles, incorporating data-driven reasoning along with theological considerations to explore why joining a community of faith serves both as personal fulfillment and growth. They explore the need for humanity to respect wider traditions while simultaneously looking toward our very nature to find answers and direction in spirit; examining how creativity interacts when shaped by clear boundaries; acknowledging how active worship helps heal modern wounds; discussing ways liturgies teach real life lessons while providing needed purpose, structure, awareness of context, identity in esteem and service.

As evidence mounts, it seems certain that Liturgy and Personality will prove itself as a powerful tool for leaders within their communities—for those seeking to keep their members informed about new trends and teachings in religious study or for anyone looking to understand more about this always relevant subject area from a sobering perspective. With Bishop Robert Barron's endorsement from the Foreword, you can be assured that Liturgy and Personality is sure to provide readers with a thoughtful journey into understanding before they reach its conclusion.

Dietrich Von Hildebrand :

Dietrich von Hildebrand (1889-1977), born in Florence, was the son of renowned German sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand. A leading student of the philosophers Edmund Husserl and Max Scheler, he took up the "great questions" - about truth, freedom, conscience, community, love, beauty - with a freshness that allowed him to break new ground, especially in ethics, but also in epistemology, social philosophy, and aesthetics. His conversion to Catholicism in 1914 was the decisive turning point of his life and the impetus for important religious works. His opposition to Hitler and Nazism was so outspoken that he was forced to flee Germany in 1933, and later across Europe, finally settling in New York City in 1940, where he taught at Fordham University until 1960. He was the author of dozens of books, both in German and English. He was a major forerunner of Vatican II through his seminal writings on marriage, on Christian philosophy, and on the evil of anti-Semitism.
