The Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom by Basil Shereghy

Paperback, 247 pages

This book is a through and substantial contribution to understanding one major element - the Byzantine Liturgy - in the life of the Christian Church. Because it is written from a Catholic standpoint, it can explain without editorial judgments both the venerable Byzantine liturgical forms, texts, and elements and also the Western theological influences upon the liturgical celebration the Churches which are in full communion with the Roman See.  To this are added useful comparisons with the Roman liturgy which illustrate similarities and differences.  The Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom has three main parts: The Proskomidia, the Liturgy of the Catechumens and the Liturgy of the Faithful.
