Liturgy and Tradition: Theological Reflections

This collection of essays by the pre-eminent 20th-century Orthodox liturgical theologian is intended as a companion volume to his Introduction to Liturgical Theology . Here can be traced the development of his thought, and particularly his increasingly precise articulation of the nature and method of liturgical theologyy. Here too can be found Schmemann’s constant stress on liturgy as an eschatological and ecclesial event and he repeatedly challenges the liturgical movement in both East and West to rediscover these elements, which were so central in the life of the early Church.
