This course explores liturgy as Christian worship, considering ritual symbolism as the “language” (word and action) of worship, and worship as Christian faith in dialogue with God. It studies the practice of Christian liturgical prayer from its ancient roots in Judaism to the present age by examining the theological explanations given for the nature of that worship over time. Controversies in and between Christian communities around the problem of worship will form one of the keys to the course.
