The nineteenth century was a period of intense religious conflict
across Europe, as people confronted the major changes brought by
modernity. In Zurich, one phase of this religious conflict was
played out in a struggle over revisions to the ritual of baptism.
In its analysis of the Zurich conflict, Liturgy Wars offers a
strategy for understanding the links between theology, ritual, and
socio-politics. Theodore M. Vial offers a new perspective on
contemporary ritual studies - and critiques the cognivist
approaches of Lawson and McCauley, as well as Catherine Bell's
analysis of power and the body - by reintergrating the imporatance
of speech acts into considerations of ritual.
