We Are What We Love
Book •
James K.A.
Smith's 'We Are What We Love' argues that human beings are formed primarily by what they love, and that practices and liturgies (not just intellectual beliefs) shape our desires and identities.
Smith critiques modern churches for adopting cultural liturgies from malls, stadiums, and entertainment venues, showing how those forms instruct worship and shape Christian practice.
He draws on philosophy, theology, and cultural analysis to explain how liturgies cultivate habits and loves that become embodied convictions.
The book invites readers to rethink Christian formation by recovering liturgies that rightly order desires toward God. It has influenced conversations about worship design, discipleship, and the formative power of communal practices.
