Summary In the past decades, important contributions have been offered to rethink the connection between Christian ethics and liturgy. This collection of new contributions departs from the particularity of the Reformed tradition and its potential for thinking through the theme of liturgy and ethics. This volume offers in-depth studies of how to understand God?s acting in worship, the centrality of justice, and the formative meaning of the liturgy, and relates these reflections to various moral issues and contemporary liturgical practices. In combining a specific theological approach with a broad disciplinary treatment of the topics this volume aims to push forward the scholarly discussion on liturgy and ethics in significant ways
