Summary

Interpretation has long been an important concern for Scripture exegetes. In recent years it has become increasingly important for liturgists as well. This volume is concerned with various methods of interpretation, how they might be used by liturgists, and contemporary liturgists who are using some of the newer methods of interpretation. This volume would be useful for both academic and professional liturgists.
