The first research-based volume of its kind, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Liturgical Theology is an unprecedented collection of original essays on the meaning, depth, and breadth of liturgical theology. Designed for students, scholars, and practitioners alike, this comprehensive resource situates liturgical theology within the wider scheme of theological inquiry to present an expansive and interdisciplinary overview of the rapidly growing field. Contributions by established and emerging scholars examine liturgical theology’s historical development, methodologies, key literature, and future directions. Both an introduction to the field and a starting point for further research, the Companion covers all essential aspects of liturgical theology, ranging from foundational topics such as liturgical ecclesiology, hermeneutics, linguistics, and sacramental services to emerging scholarship in womanist liturgical theology, traumatic liturgy, and liberation theology. Bringing together essays by a diverse and balanced panel of scholars representing more than a dozen denominations, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Liturgical Theology is the ideal text for seminary and college courses on liturgical theology, the history of worship, and practical theology, and a must-read for theologians of all disciplines.
