This topical overview covers baptism, chrismation, Eucharist, reconciliation, anointing, marriage, holy orders, burial, Liturgy of the Hours, the liturgical year, liturgical ethos and spirituality, and offers a brief yet comprehensive bibliography for further study. This book will be of special interest to masters-level students in liturgy and theology, pastoral ministers seeking an introduction to the liturgies of the Christian East, and all who seek to increase their knowledge of the liturgical riches of the Christian East.

It argues that the Bible occupies a place of paramount importance in Byzantine liturgy, and that the Bible is everywhere, permeating all aspects of the life of the church, especially its liturgical life. It demonstrates this by looking at how the Bible is presented and interpreted through the use the lectionary, the psalter, the liturgical year, liturgical prayers, the liturgical hermeneutic of Scripture, iconography, and the ritual place of the Gospel book. It concludes that at the heart of the Scriptures is the proclamation of salva tion in Christ; at the heart of liturgy is the celebration of the salvation in Christ.
