Reflections on the theological aspect of the liturgy was the focus of Alexander Schmemann's intellectual life. He intuitively grasped and insisted upon the essentially theological character of all liturgical renewal. He recognized that the renewal of the church requires a rediscovery of the liturgy's own inherent theology, that same theology which once informed the whole of the church's life as well as the teachings and writings of the leaders of the Patristic age. This theological content which is inherent in the liturgy itself is designed by Schmemann as liturgical theology.

Liturgy and Tradition
Another great contribution by Schmemann. More difficult than his other books and more repetitive. I have numerous disagreements with his specific views of issues. Yet his view of the Christian life is unlike anything I am reading currently. His vision stretches into areas most theologians leave untouched. Two main points from this book. First, the liturgy is eschatological. The liturgy is where we enter the Kingdom of Christ. It is the final age brought into the present age. Second, theology is too divorced from the life of the Church. He hammers home this point in one essay. Many Protestants are feeling this divorce also. It makes theology the result of individuals living an ivory tower existence instead of being the rising from the organic life of the Body of Christ.
