The Deacon Reader by Keating, James
Book Description
This book is an anthology of articles on the diaconate. Authors include a wide spectrum of theologians, historians, deacons, and others. The first part of the book provides essays on historical and theological questions about the diaconate. The second part gives us articles about pastoral foundations for the identity of the deacon. The third part has two essays on the sociological identity of the deacon, including that of married man. The multiple endorsements at the beginning of this book bear witness to its value. The editor, himself a deacon, intends this book to be used especially by deacons in the course of their studies, preparing for ordination. In fact, the book would be a valuable resource for any deacon or priest. Especially useful is the very first essay by Father Edward Enright, OSA, on the history of the diaconate. He shows how the deacon is important to the Church and to its mission, down through the ages.
