“The core claim of this book is that liturgies-whether "sacred" or "secular"-shape and constitute our identities by forming our most fundamental desires and our most basic attunement to the world. In short, liturgies make us certain kinds of people, and what defines us is what we love.” Pg. 25

“Implicit in the materiality of Christian worship is this sense that God meets us in materiality, and that the natural world is always more than just nature it is charged with the presence and glory of God.” 143
In shot, we lose the sense in which Christian worship is also political: it marks us out as and trains us to be a peculiar people who are citizens of another City and subjects of a coming King. 154

“I want to make this point somewhat differently: the university remains a charged religious institution not (only) because of the epistemic conditions that undergird knowledge and research, but (also) because the university
is a formative, liturgical institution, animated by rituals and liturgies that constitute a pedagogy of desire.”- a beautiful sentence after discussing malls, sports events and college form us

Too many good quotes- loving it so far 🙌🏼
Desire shapes how one sees and understands the world, and so the key question for the Christian in pursuit of knowledge is first to consider the shape and "aim" of one's desire, and to specifically seek to increase one's desire for God. -pg. 71
