James Smith’s liturgical anthropology

In an earlier post I offered a book notice for James Smith’s 2009 effort Desiring the Kingdom. I thought I’d like to return to a particular theme of that work that Smith himself expands upon in the second volume of his Baker Cultural Liturgies trilogy Imagining the Kingdom (2013). I thought I’d let Smith speak for himself this time. His topic is a fundamental line of inquiry that I think deserves our continued consideration.
