Worship signifies a wide field of liturgical ritual practices that
extend from the Sunday morning service in a mainline church through a
worship service in an African Independent Church to Christian ritual on
the internet and cultural ritual-symbolic practices. Solid and
solidified concepts are no longer sufficient for the study of this
liquid field. This book approaches liturgical ritual from a different
perspective. The first part of this book maps and explores the field of
liturgical ritual studies. The second part of the book takes a first
step in the process of conceptualisation and elaborates on the
sensitising concept of liminality. In part three various aspects of the
field are elaborated on in six double perspectives:
bricolage/particularity, language/silence, image/sound,
embodiment/performance, play/function, time/space. Part four reviews the
road that the book has covered to this point from the two theological
perspectives that characterise Protestant worship: Sacrament/Word and
Prayer/Worship.
