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.
