The anti-ritualism is the radical protestant tradition iinforms their interpretation of Scripture. The liturgy of the early Christian Church lies in the background of Scripture. Exactly what, for instance, does "the breaking of the bread" mean? An early Christian reader--hearer, most likely, since most people were illiterate--would have understand immediately. We can only infer as we read. No familiar images come to mind, anymore than than a familiar face when we read the name Junias, for instance (man or woman?)
