Eucharist as Discourse in Motion Reading the Armenian Rite in Narrative and Ritual

réf. 69991Studia Traditionis Theologiae vol. 64 . Paperback Pages: 358 p. Size:156 x 234 mm Languages:English. ISBN 9782503618371. Summary This volume presents the first sustained study of the dynamic interplay between ritual and narrative in the Armenian Eucharistic tradition. Using the Armenian rite as a test case it reveals how Eucharistic liturgy served as a site where theology history and intercultural exchange converged. By tracing its development across centuries of contact with Greek Latin and regional influences the book demonstrates how the rite was continually reshaped while preserving its distinct ecclesial identity. Combining ritual and narrative analysis the study introduces a new methodological lens for understanding Eucharistic liturgy within Eastern Christianity. Grounded in close analysis of Armenian sources the book opens a broader conversation about how liturgy discloses meaning makes history present and narrates tradition. It offers both a focused contribution to liturgical studies and a valuable resource for scholars of Eastern Christianity and comparative Eucharistic theology. More broadly it provides a fresh perspective on the relationship between religious tradition ritual and narrative.
