About the Author
David Fagerberg
David W. Fagerberg is Professor Emeritus of Theology at the University of Notre Dame. He holds an M.Div. from Luther Northwestern Seminary; an M.A. from St. John’s University, Collegeville; an S.T.M. from Yale Divinity School; and a Ph.D. from Yale University. His work first explored how lex orandi is the foundation for lex credendi (Theologia Prima, 2003). To this he integrated the Orthodox understanding of asceticism as capacitating the liturgical person (On Liturgical Asceticism, 2013). He applied this to our liturgical life in the world (Consecrating the World, 2016) and then to our interior liturgical life (Liturgical Mysticism, 2019).
What People Are Saying

In Liturgical Mysticism, Fagerberg continues his articulation of how the Mystery is embodied and lived by those who partake in the Church’s sacramental worship, which is itself a participation in the eternal ‘liturgy’ of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Msgr. Michael Heintz
Mount St Mary’s Seminary
In a time where both too wild and too mild spiritualities abound, it is audacious to put forward a book on liturgical mysticism. [This book] continues to enrich liturgical theology by amplifying its horizon and solidifying the foundation on which it rests.
Joris Geldhof
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
David Fagerberg is establishing a unique voice. The language and the vivid images he develops are his response to being deeply stunned by the liturgy and all that happens in its celebration.
Abbot Jeremy Driscoll, O.S.B.
Mount Angel Abbey
[Fagerberg’s] words move the whole person to desire worship and the life that is given therein, holiness. His prose elicits prayer and wonder and thus silence and contemplation.
