The theological consideration on liturgy is something we are still pretty much lacking in the current Protestant liturgics, whether in German speaking countries or in Czech lands.
Protestant liturgics has been primarily focused on formal aspects of liturgy (Gestaltungsfragen), whereas theology of the worship remained to be on the periphery of inquiry.
However, in recent years we are becoming to be more and more attentive to the North-American liturgical theology as an important source of inspiration.

The course will provide the opportunity to get acquainted with the liturgical theology of Gordon Lathrop, Professor Emeritus of Liturgy at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia.
We will critically read and discuss his most famous book "Holy Things: a Liturgical Theology" (1993).
