Scholars across many fields have come to realize that ritual is an
integral element of human life and a vital aspect of all human
societies. Yet, this realization has been slow to develop among
scholars of early Christianity. Early Christian Ritual Life
attempts to counteract the undervaluing of ritual by placing it at
the forefront of early Christian life. Rather than treating ritual
in isolation or in a fragmentary way, this book examines early
Christian ritual life as a whole. The authors explore an array of
Christian ritual activity, employing theory critically and
explicitly to make sense of various ritual behaviors and their
interconnections. Written by leading experts in their fields, this
collection is divided into three parts: * Interacting with the
Divine * Group Interactions * Contesting and Creating Ritual
Protocols. This book is ideal for religious studies students
seeking an introduction to the dynamic research areas of ritual
studies and early Christian practice.
