In 1979 liturgical theologian Don Saliers published an essay challenging both the Church's and the theological academy's understanding of the relationship between liturgy and ethics. Liturgy and the Moral Self seeks to honor Saliers by responding to his prophetic and prescriptive invitation to theological work that is "framed in terms of the double–focus of Liturgy—the glorification of God and the sanctification of [humanity]."

Thematically grouped, this symposium engages a variety of theological disciplines in the effort to understand and envision how liturgy, spirituality, and aesthetics entail practices that enable people to develop into active Christians worthy of the Gospel. Saliers' essay and its argument guide the symposium in exploring several of its aspects from a diversity of perspectives (theological disciplines, denominations, genders, generations).

Intended for pastoral ministers, as well as faculty and students of seminary and graduate programs, Liturgy and the Moral Self features Saliers' provocative essay, an introductory chapter, and sections on liturgical theology, the formation of character, and word and music—each with a single-page introduction to the chapters that follow.
