Offering a comprehensive methodology for a field lacking a common definition, this innovative volume argues that liturgical theology is both a means and a method, a study of form and function comprised of performative and reflective components. Throughout the text, liturgical theologian Porter C. Taylor describes and defends his innovative thesis and pioneering definition while inviting constructive discourse within the paradigm of performance and reflection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContaining six substantial chapters, \u003ci\u003eRe-Introduction to Liturgical Theology\u003c\/i\u003e opens with a literary review of key historical debates that have engaged liturgical theologians for more than six decades. Subsequent chapters assess Alexander Schmemann's liturgical theology, analyze Michael Aune's critiques against Schmemann and those who follow him, develop a new definition and ecumenical methodology for the field, and explore the relationship between liturgy and the Bible. The book concludes by testing the author's wholly original definition and methodology on two liturgical case studies, clearly demonstrating both their utility and efficacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a new starting point for liturgical theological inquiry, generated in conversation with key theologians\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses Alexander Schmemann's role as both father of the field and an essential figure moving forward\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures the first full-length analysis of Michael Aune's critiques against Schmemann and the Schmemann-Kavanagh-Fagerberg-Lathrop line\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eArgues that the Paschal Mystery and Jesus' \u003ci\u003eleitourgia\u003c\/i\u003e are central to liturgical theology and the Christian faith\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eCombining scholarly depth and accessibility, \u003ci\u003eRe-Introduction to Liturgical Theology: A Definition, Methodology, and Approach\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for scholars, experts, and practitioners within the field of liturgical theology, as well as students in both academic settings and in Christian education programs within the local church.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Rev.
