	Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium
		The study of sacred liturgy is to be ranked among the compulsory and major courses in seminaries and religions houses of studies; in theological faculties it is to rank among the principal courses.
		Sacred scripture is of the greatest importance in the celebration of the liturgy.
		Accordingly, the sacred Council, keeping to the norms and precepts of ecclesiastical tradition and discipline, and having regard to the purpose of sacred music, which is the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful, decrees as follows.

	Hacking Culture and the Hunger for Knowledge: Entering Sacred Digital Space
		The study of a sacred text is analogous to a community of people gathering around a fire, drawing on the energies of the flames.
		The sacred text is a transformational engine that discloses, discovers, and creates an image of who we are now in relationship to a potential state, the discovery of which is simultaneously the discovery that we are not in that state.
		Their sacred stories were discovered to be interlaced with the entire fabric of their society, and when that began to unravel, the sacred stories dimmed and lost their numinous glow.

	Revelation - Sacred Theology
		For the purposes of this article, Sacred theology is limited to the study of the sacred texts of divine revelation.
		Too often, the followers of a religion immediately assume that Allah is the author of their sacred text and forget that their text came from an individual who claimed, truly or falsely, that the text was divine.
		A sacred writing that is flawed in its historical accuracy shows a lack of divine superintendence in its authorship to be an option for consideration as a divine scripture.

		When writing was introduced it must have given immense power to the people who understood it (a bit like the internet today), and therefore it seems plausible that the notion of sacred texts was useful to them in retaining their position of power.
		Not all myths have a religious purpose; not all religious texts have narratives which could (or could not) be understood as myths.
		Certainly not texts like the Kalevala or the "Charge of the Goddess" for which there is no claim of inspiration.

	Sacred text
		Many religions and spiritual movements hold certain written texts (or series of spoken legends not traditionally written down) to be sacred.
		Often believing that their sacred texts (or scriptures) are wholly divine or partially inspired in origin, the faithful use titles like Word of God to denote the holy writings.
		Although ancient civilizations have produced handmade texts for many millennia, the first printed scripture for wide distribution for the masses was The Diamond Sutra, a Buddhist scripture, printed in 868 AD.

	Sacred Music: Gregorian Chant as the Paradigm
		This allows these texts to be projected clearly in a natural speech rhythm free from the exaggerated emphases sometimes heard from inexperienced readers; it projects the sacred character of the text and, through characteristic melodic patterns, differentiates the three kinds of lesson.
		If the normal pace of the delivery of the text is that of the chanting of a psalm to a psalm tone, then the somewhat slower pace of the Mass propers represents a slowing down of the time of the psalm.
		In the case of the gradual and alleluia, this slowing down of the sacred text approaches at times a kind of stasis, and this stasis is as close as we may come to a sense of the suspension of the passage of time.

		The recipient of a sacred text within the community that is shaped by that text knows already that it possesses a textual fecundity which transcends any single act of reading.
		It is their participation in the canonicity of the whole which allows individual texts to function, in juxtaposition with the other members of the 'body' of scripture, as texts thatcommunicate the divine life, the 'deep' reading of which requires its own rules, manifest in the worship and devotion of the reading community.
		The recognition that this is the nature of the sacred text, is the embrace of a certain positioning towards the text before us and towards the world as created, in which the same divine creativity is in play.

		However, the problem with bringing the Western concept of music into association with sacred text is that this concept implies adherence to a set of rules that are concerned with abstract sound structures.
		Indeed, it may be convincingly argued that the musical (in the Western sense) rendition of sacred text is the normative and optimal form of 'reading'.
		If a music provides a comprehensible vehicle for the sacred text and attracts the heart of at least its singer it is probably acceptable music.

		Nevertheless, this seder is a pure kabbalistic text of the Lurianic school, despite its inclusion in the controversial anthology Hemdat Yamim.
		In fact, the greatest portion of this material is taken from the Zohar [a mystical commentary on the Torah that is the major text of Jewish mysticism].
		First, the text does not explain the rather complex basic principles of kabbalah as they developed since the late 12th century.

		However, the fundamentalist elevates the sacred text to the level of supreme authority on all issues and insists therefore that “all truth claims must be subjected to the sacred text as the single final arbiter” (p.
		Fundamentalists construct a reality on the basis of their interpretation of the sacred text, and all experiences in their lives are perceived within the framework of this constructed reality.
		Strict literalism of the sacred text would suggest a convergence of fundamentalist thought instead of the wide divergence of beliefs seen among all religions, including and especially the diversity found among fundamentalists.

		In fact, it was not until I began to read sacred texts with the skills I had acquired in studying nonsacred texts that the eyes of my understanding truly began to open.
		Countless years of studying written texts have, I hope, fixed in me some small ability to distinguish between the good and the bad, the true and the false, the genuine and the spurious, the original and the imitative.

		This text emphasizes that the "heart" (meaning the mind) governs the body as a ruler governs the state, and that if the body submits to the heart, the heart can achieve a desirelessness that makes it a pure receptacle for the indwelling Tao.

		To study and perform music in which the musical setting of a text is artistically accomplished is a highly commendable objective.
		Such an exclusion has its parallel the study of art without any paintings related to the various religions of the world, the study of literature without mention of the bible, or the study of architecture without reference to the great temples and cathedrals of the world.
		Since choral music with a sacred text compromises such a substantial portion of the artistic repertoire representative of the choral medium and the history of music, it should have an important place in music education.

	Preaching From the Sacred Text by Donald Heet, America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine
		Although there are still some who insist on preaching from nonliturgical texts like the catechism, most Catholic preachers realize and take seriously their obligation to preach the Scripture, even when they resort to canned and recycled homilies.
		While it successfully reoriented the homily, phrases like “mysteries of the faith,” “guiding principles of the Christian life,” and “the sacred text” can suggest a homily that is an abstract, generalized reflection on a biblical reading, with little direct connection to the events of human life.
