This week’s publication of my large (14,000+ words) essay, “Embodiment and Liturgy,” on the Saint Andrews Encyclopaedia of Theology prompts me to introduce Pray Tell readers to this open-access, online academic resource.
Modeled on the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the Saint Andrews is an ambitious, expansive enterprise steadily adding triple-peer-reviewed entries toward a comprehensive coverage of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The editorial and production teams are committed to delivering expert content in clear, accessible prose, conceptually focused and historically informed. The Wikipedia-like format enables a plethora of hyperlinks across the entire site, as well as continuous updating of each entry’s content.
The encyclopedia’s platform is growing, article by article, numbering slightly over 100, to date. Entries on liturgy and sacraments, so far, include: Baptism (Dagmar Heller), Christian Year (Robin Knowles Wallace), Embodiment and Liturgy (Bruce T. Morrill), Liturgy (Benedikt Kranemann), Sacrifice and the Eucharist (John Stevenson).
As a sample and, admittedly, my sharing of the work I recently finished, here is the Table of Contents for “Embodiment and Liturgy”
