Focusing on the intersection of gender and liturgical history, this book examines how various gender identities have shaped liturgical practices over time. Berger delves into the experiences of not just men and women, but also inter-sexed individuals, eunuchs, and ascetic virgins. Through historical case studies, the author investigates traditional aspects like liturgical space and eucharistic practices while introducing innovative methodologies for studying the past, offering fresh insights into contemporary discussions on gender within liturgical life.
Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality, this monograph delves into the complexities of digitally-mediated liturgical practices. It poses thought-provoking questions about community and communion in online worship settings, particularly focusing on the implications of avatars participating in virtual rituals. By examining the evolution of these practices since the advent of Web 2.0, it offers a comprehensive analysis of how digital platforms are reshaping traditional worship experiences.
