5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent detail of the divine liturgy,
By Matt (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Byzantine Slav Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Its Origin and Evolution (Hardcover)
Although written by a Uniate priest, this book presents a scrutiny of the Orthodox liturgy which is indispensible for anyone interested in studying the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. The first part of the book deals with the history and evolution of the different liturgies throughout the century. The rest of the book, after the first 200 pages, is a detailed analysis of the liturgy including rubrics and theological background.

This review is from: Byzantine Slav Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Its Origin and Evolution (Hardcover)
What a surprise. As the previous reviewer commented the first 200 pages of the book spend much time discussing the Liturgy up to the time when there was a distinctive split into the Eastern and Western Rites. However, even throughout the rest of the book, Rev Kucharek really puts effort into disucssing the origins of practices and parallels between the east and west.As a Roman Catholic I found this book to be a much needed compliment to the works of Fortescue and Jungmann. I am glad I did not pass this title up. |
