A collection of Schmemann's essays on liturgical theology, edited with an introduction by Thomas Fisch and published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press in 1990. The publisher presents it as a companion to Introduction to Liturgical Theology: the essays trace the development of his thought, and in particular his increasingly exact account of what liturgical theology is and how it works. Fisch's introduction places Schmemann within the wider liturgical movement. Among the essays is "Theology and Liturgical Tradition", often cited from this volume.
