Yet, this realization has been slow to develop among scholars of early Christianity. \u003ci\u003eEarly Christian Ritual Life\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to counteract the undervaluing of ritual by placing it at the forefront of early Christian life. Rather than treating ritual in isolation or in a fragmentary way, this book examines early Christian ritual life as a whole. The authors explore an array of Christian ritual activity, employing theory critically and explicitly to make sense of various ritual behaviors and their interconnections. Written by leading experts in their fields, this collection is divided into three parts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Interacting with the Divine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Group Interactions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Contesting and Creating Ritual Protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is ideal for religious studies students seeking an introduction to the dynamic research areas of ritual studies and early Christian practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard E.
