Other Voices, other rooms. Liturgical prayer in postmodern cultures

Abstract

My task in this paper is to assess the significance of liturgical action within the context of postmodern thought. The text is divided into two parts. Part One, entitled ‘Calling God Names’, deals with the postmodern problematic of liturgical prayer by concentrating on that problem’s two primary sources – the first, scriptural, and the second, philosophical. Part Two, entitled ‘The Structure of Saying ‘Yes’’, explores the language of liturgy as a fundamental language of faith.
