Embodied Liturgy

Embodied Liturgy marks a return to the body in thinking about Christian liturgy and sacramental practice. With the body as a primary focus, the volume explores the crucial content of liturgical theology, examining the offices of prayer, the churchs liturgical calendar, sacraments and sacramental theology, word and sacramental liturgy, ritual studies, music and art, and cultural issues. The body as the matrix of liturgy opens space for understanding liturgy and sacramental practice across cultural perspectives for students and liturgical practitioners, giving fresh voice to the practice of worship.
