The Orthodox Liturgy: The Development of the Eucharistic Liturgy in the Byzantine Rite

Rating:
Summary: A Good Introduction
Review: This is a well-written introduction to the history of the development of the Orthodox liturgy. It is easy to read and uncluttered by jargon. The author provides snapshots of the liturgy at various stages of its development, with particular emphasis on how the practicalities of worship at the great church in Constantinople influenced this development.

I would recommend this book to anyone new to this fascinating subject.
