In Reformed Sacramentality, the late Graham Hughes discusses the role of physicality in worship. He contends that to counter the Reformed tradition s vulnerability to a cultural colonization by secular modernity, Reformed theology needs to amplify its appreciation for God s omnipresence in creation with a re-appropriation of the condensed symbols of faith. Hughes s argument builds on a historical analysis of the Reformed tradition s rejection of material sacramentality and its ecclesial and cultural consequences. From a late modern vantage point, Hughes advocates for a rediscovery of material sacramentality both as a lever against modern solipsism and as an iconic reminder of God s radical otherness.
