Schleiermacher Unit
Worship as Social Resistance
For this virtual session, we invite papers that explore the function of worship and liturgy in times of political unrest and uncertainty, especially as a source of resistance. We encourage both proposals that broadly consider the foundational role of worship in the face of political crisis, and also proposals that more specifically consider the place of worship in Schleiermacher’s thought and in the social unrest following the French Revolution (for example, in his sermons, Christian Faith, Christian ethics, or practical theology).
The unit promotes scholarship – from specialists and non-specialists alike – that critically engage the thought and influence of Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834). We encourage constructive, historical, and textual analyses that open new lines of inquiry into Schleiermacher’s oeuvre and contribution to contemporary discussions in theology, religious studies, philosophy, ethics, and hermeneutics.
