Summary

This essay deals first with individual prayers of the daily liturgy that excel in distinctive theological affirmations followed by that of the Shema Liturgy as a whole. In discerning the theological patterns of the liturgy and the relationship between the whole and the parts, it focuses on the centrality of Divine kingship and the move from individual to community to humanity especially as expressed in hopes for redemption. It concludes with the peculiarities of a post-temple liturgy.
