Abstract:
The aim of this contribution is to bring the book Die erediens as
fees into discussion with the surrounding culture almost one quarter of a century after its
publication. The surrounding culture, we shall call, following Martin Stringer and his socalled
discourse of globalisation and consumerism, ‘the feast as worship service’. Based
on this discussion, our research question pertains to the value of Die erediens as fees for the
field of Liturgical Studies today. An answer is attempted by, firstly, sketching the liturgical
landscape as well as national and international liturgical-scientific developments in our day
and, secondly, providing a liturgical-aesthetical exploration and positioning Die erediens as
fees within these developments and exploration.
