Mapping uncharted territory in the study of liturgy's past, this
book offers a history to contemporary questions around gender and
liturgical life. Teresa Berger looks at liturgy's past through the
lens of gender history, understood as attending not only to the
historically prominent binary of "men" and "women" but to all
gender identities, including inter-sexed persons, ascetic virgins,
eunuchs, and priestly men. Demonstrating what a gender-attentive
inquiry is able to achieve, Berger explores both traditional
fundamentals such as liturgical space and eucharistic practice and
also new ways of studying the past, for example by asking about the
developing link between liturgical presiding and priestly
masculinity. Drawing on historical case studies and focusing
particularly on the early centuries of Christian worship, this book
ultimately aims at the present by lifting a veil on liturgy's past
to allow for a richly diverse notion of gender differences as these
continue to shape liturgical life.
