Orthodox Christianity and Contemporary Thought: Welcoming Finitude: Toward a Phenomenology of Orthodox Liturgy (Hardcover)

Welcoming Finitude provides a philosophical (i.e., phenomenological) examination of the experience of liturgy, based on the example of Orthodox Christian liturgy, as it manifests in terms of time, space, corporeality, senses, affect, and the interaction with other people. It thus uncovers some of the basic structures of religious ritual experience.
