The focus was especially on liturgical texts. Now the spotlight is on liturgical actions--what people do in worship, how they do it, and what their actions mean. And a comparative dimension is added: no longer looking only at the Christian past, scholars now look at the global present and compare what Christians say and do in worship with analogous actions in various religious and cultural settings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNew perspectives require new methods. Enter ritual studies, a discipline built on methods and insights developed by anthropologists. \u003ci\u003eFoundations in Ritual Studies\u003c\/i\u003e offers an anthropological and theological approach to the study of Christian liturgy, providing key essays for an orientation to this fruitful new approach. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRomano Guardini, Mark Searle, \u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eJohn D.
