Isaac Parappallil
Description:
This book seeks to shed new light on the ecclesial dimension of marriage by using a model
hitherto employed in the liturgy of marriage. The originality of this work lies in a new
vision and explanation of the ecclesial images and symbols found in the Malankara liturgy
of marriage, and it explores the roots, basis, origin and development of such ecclesial
images. This study particularly concentrates on the biblical, Jewish, patristic and the
traditional customary roots of these ecclesial images. The permanent Christ-Church
relationship expressed therein is really an exemplar for Christian spouses. In this way, the
patristic symbols and images mentioned in the liturgy facilitate a better grasp of its
‘liturgical ecclesiology.’ Therefore, this work is pertinent for a better understanding of the
nature, mission and purpose of the Church.
