Understand the prayers and actions of the Divine Liturgy.
Ivan Dmitrevsky considers the Byzantine Liturgy historically, doctrinally, and symbolically. Prayers, entrances, vessels, vestments, and hymns are treated as connected parts of worship, with attention to Scripture and the Church Fathers. The volume gives readers who know the service an opportunity to examine its meaning in greater depth, while introducing those studying Orthodox liturgy to an older interpretive tradition.
