Ricoeur's Hermeneutics as A Method for Liturgical Theology according to Zimmerman

This paper investigates the extent to which the application of Ricoeur's hermeneutics according to Joyce Ann Zimmerman can be a method for Liturgical Theology to understand the process of communication of faith during the Liturgy for the Church in the postmodern era. With the need to deepen the interdisciplinary dialogue between liturgy and other branches of science, this paper aims to delineate the point of convergence between Liturgical Theology and hermeneutics to create a more relevant application for Christians today. For this purpose, the methodology used in this paper is a literature study to dialogue Zimmerman’s thoughts with other thinkers focusing on the application of hermeneutics in Liturgical Theology. This paper finds that the application of Ricoeur’s hermeneutics according to Zimmerman can map the linguistic dynamics of liturgical celebrations to enable the transformation of the entire narrative of their life experiences into a narrative of faith. Nevertheless, this method needs to be complemented by the hermeneutics of real dialogical actions with the mystery of God action as a trigger for a deeper transformation of mystical experience in the liturgy towards social ethics. Abstrak Makalah ini mempertanyakan sejauh mana penerapan hermeneutika Ricoeur menurut Joyce Ann Zimmerman bisa menjadi metode bagi Teologi Liturgi untuk memahamai proses komunikasi iman dalam Liturgi di era postmodern. Dengan adanya kebutuhan untuk memperdalam dialog interdisipliner antara liturgi dan cabang-cabang ilmu lainnya, makalah ini bertujuan memperuncing titik temu antara Teologi Liturgi dan hermeneutika demi aplikasi yang lebih relevan bagi umat di masa kini.

Abstract

This paper investigates the extent to which the application of Ricoeur's hermeneutics according to Joyce Ann Zimmerman can be a method for Liturgical Theology to understand the process of communication of faith during the Liturgy for the Church in the postmodern era. With the need to deepen the interdisciplinary dialogue between liturgy and other branches of science, this paper aims to delineate the point of convergence between Liturgical Theology and hermeneutics to create a more relevant application for Christians today. For this purpose, the methodology used in this paper is a literature study to dialogue Zimmerman’s thoughts with other thinkers focusing on the application of hermeneutics in Liturgical Theology. This paper finds that the application of Ricoeur’s hermeneutics according to Zimmerman can map the linguistic dynamics of liturgical celebrations to enable the transformation of the entire narrative of their life experiences into a narrative of faith. Nevertheless, this method needs to be complemented by the hermeneutics of real dialogical actions with the mystery of God action as a trigger for a deeper transformation of mystical experience in the liturgy towards social ethics.
