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

Hugh Wybrew

Observers from Western churches never fail to be awestruck at a celebration of the liturgy in an Orthodox church.  Naturally, many questions follow: How has the Orthodox liturgy been shaped?  How different is it from the eucharistic rites of the Western churches?  Hugh Wybrew’s authoritative, but splendidly readable, book traces step-by-step the story of the development of the Orthodox liturgy from the Last Supper to the present day and vividly conveys a sense of the experience of the worshipers.
