Book Summary
This book is about a household activity, if not a household word; an activity that engages us all with that very degree of regularity which breeds indifference: liturgy, or, to be more precise, worship, or, to be more precise still, the variety of rituals in which religious people, particularly, engage. This unique and groundbreaking study moves "beyond the texts" of prayersto carefully study the worshipping community from an anthropological perspective.Hoffman's innovative approach opens up the world of prayer to the academy and thecommunity at large. With the publication of this book, the study of liturgy willnever again be the same.
