Liturgical Subjects
Book • 2014
In Liturgical Subjects, Derek Krueger investigates how Byzantine liturgical readings and performed biblical narratives contributed to the formation of individual and communal subjects.
He explores the performative and formative functions of scripture within liturgical contexts, arguing that ritualized storytelling produced moral and spiritual identities.
Drawing on sermons, hagiography, and liturgical texts, Krueger reveals the interplay between textual interpretation and embodied religious practice.
The book situates Byzantine liturgy within broader cultural and theological frameworks to show its centrality for self-construction and ecclesial life.
