Abstract: We try to develop a coherent picture of Liouville theory as a two-dimensional conformal field theory that takes into account the perspectives of the path-integral approach, bootstrap, canonical quantization and the operator approach. To do this, we need to develop further some of these approaches. This includes in particular the construction of general exponential field operators from a set of covariant chiral operators. The latter are shown to satisfy braid relations that allow one to prove the locality of the former.
