Practicing theory – how contemporary theory can illuminate 500-year-old liturgical texts

School of Culture and Society - Church History and Practical Theology, subject

Abstract

One very famous result of the Reformation is often summed up in the statement that Luther helped reemphasize the congregation as the centre of Eucharistic practice. Most discourse on the subject highlights this transformation as a theological change but applying contemporary practice theory can help to reveal that the change is also performative at its core.
