Summary:

In line with a profound theological understanding of liturgy as the Church at prayer (ecclesia orans), the focus of this 'Element' is the variegated ways in which Christians address, turn to, and worship God in their central rituals and celebrations. Surveying a representative sample of official liturgical sources from different Christian Churches, the question is asked how 'pure' the monotheism expressed in them is. The essential key to unlock this complex and multi-layered reality is a study of the essential doxological nature of Christian liturgy, both from a phenomenological point of view and on the basis of fine textual analyses.
