Ritualized Faith
Essays on the Philosophy of Liturgy
Central to the lives of the religiously committed
The religiously committed, for example, regularly assemble to engage in religious rites, including corporate liturgical worship. Although the participation in liturgy is central to the religious lives of many, few philosophers have given it attention.
About the collection of essays
In this collection of essays, Terence Cuneo turns his attention to liturgy, contending that the topic proves itself to be philosophically rich and rewarding.
Focus on Eastern Christianity
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.
Purpose of the book
In doing so, Cuneo makes sense of these liturgical practices and indicates why they deserve a place in the religiously committed life.
