| Summary: | Current liturgies performed in Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and mainline Protestant worship services preserve a remnant of basic practices, personnel, and key ideas and themes found in passages related to Hebrew Bible worship and ritual. These features, of course, have long histories of reinterpretation and reapplication within Christian tradition. The theological understandings of several of these elements of Hebrew Bible worship have a place in the theological disagreements between the various branches of Christianity, and the current language in the liturgies manifests these differences, as do the discussions about them within the various traditions. This essay especially focuses on the way in which current liturgies continue to manifest different appropriations of Hebrew Bible worship and ritual. Further, the essay draws on ritual theories to reflect on the way in which liturgies establish a sense of timelessness, transcendence, and invariance for worshipers, even though liturgies have changed over the centuries and greatly differ from their Hebrew Bible roots. |
