22
Christian View of Time
23
Theological / Liturgical Foundations

• The beginning of the Liturgical year and
  lectionary are narratives of the beginning of
  Jesus life and ministry and unfolds throughout
  the year to the apex of the passion, death, and
  resurrection stories. 
• The year and lectionary further develop the
  paschal mystery as it moves toward the end times
  pointing to the eschaton. 
• Thus the seasons of celebration and the
  lectionary are held in tension.
