While only rarely reflecting explicitly on liturgy, French
philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) gave sustained attention to
several themes pertinent to the interpretation of worship,
including metaphor, narrative, subjectivity, and memory. Inspired
by his well-known aphorism, "The symbol gives rise to thought,"
Liturgical Theology after Schmemann offers an original exploration
of the symbolic world of the Byzantine Rite , culminating in a
Ricoeurian analysis of its Theophany "Great Blessing of Water." .
The book examines two fundamental questions: 1) what are the
implications of the philosopher's oeuvre for liturgical theology at
large? And 2)how does the adoption of a Ricoeurian hermeneutic
shape the study of a particular rite? Taking the seminal legacy of
Orthodox theologian Alexander Schmemann (1921-1983) as its point of
departure, Butcher contributes to the renewal of contemporary
Eastern Christian thought and ritual practice by engaging a
spectrum of current theological and philosophical conversations.
