Abstract | Within the field ofliturgical studies many varied approaches and methodologies are utilized to explore and analyze church worship practices across the spectrum of Christian history, from informed hypotheses about ancient pre-textual rituals to assessments and interpretations of the rubrical demands of modem liturgies. Various authors have described and critiqued these methodologies, focusing in on the particularmodes ofinvestigation used to access and analyze the multivalent, multicultural, historically developing practicaltheology thatis performed in the liturgy. The cluster ofmethods known as “ritual studies” is a relative newcomer to the field of liturgical studies. Prior to the early 1980s, liturgical scholars typically tended to employ mainly historical, theological, pastoral, aesthetic, rubrical-canonical and comparative methodologies, in defining and advancing the field. Ritual studies only became more accepted as a method for use in liturgical studies from the mid1980s onward. |
