Title: Ritualized faith : essays on the philosophy of liturgy /
Authors: Cuneo, Terence, 1969-
Year: 2016
Subjects: Eastern churches Liturgy Philosophy.
Abstract: Although the participation in liturgy is central to the religious lives of many, few philosophers have given it attention. In this collection of essays, Terence Cuneo turns his attention to liturgy, contending that the topic proves itself to be both philosophically rich and rewarding. Taking the liturgical practices of Eastern Christianity as its focal point, Ritualized Faith examines issues such as what the ethical importance of ritualized religious activities might be, what it is to immerse oneself in such activities, and what the significance of liturgical singing and iconography are.
