A Record of European Armour and Arms Through Seven Centuries Volume I

How in this age of belief can we make sense of the act of Christian worship? Convinced that people shape their meanings from those available to them Graham Hughes inquires into liturgical constructions of meaning within the larger context of late twentieth-century meaning theory. Drawing particularly upon the work of Charles Peirce Hughes employs semiotic theory to analyze the construction transmission and apprehension of meaning within an actual worship service. This book will appeal to teachers and students of theology clergy and informed lay Christians.
