A review by mrosales
Desiring the Kingdom (Cultural Liturgies): Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation by James K.A. Smith
3.0
Worth reading but a bit disappointing
Perhaps this review is colored by having read many other of Smith's works, and hearing him talk in person, but I did not find that this book had a lot to contribute on its own. His ideas are repeated many times in his other books, and even within this one alone. I think it is a good introductory to his thought, however, and it's a better read for those without a background in philosophy, but is ok to skip and read the others in his cultural liturgies collection instead
