Book Description
This study proceeds historically, from the origins of the Eucharist up to our own day. Unlike most studies of this kind, it includes an introduction to and developmental summary of the diverse Eucharistic liturgies of the Christian East. It also explores the various Western rites (Ambrosian, Gallican, and Mozarabic) in addition to the Roman. With regard to theological themes, the authors give special attention to the topics of real presence (including the "consecration" of the bread and wine) and eucharistic sacrifice, the most central and most ecumenically challenging issues since the sixteenth-century Reformations. Making the book especially teacher- and student-friendly are the summary points at the end of each chapter. Each chapter also contains an abundance of liturgical texts for ease of reference.

Book Description
In recent years a new interest in the Eastern Churches has emerged in the Western Churches both Catholic and Protestant. The reader of this work will find answers to such fundamental questions as Who are Eastern Catholics?" "How did the Eastern Catholic Churches originate?" "Who are Orthodox Christians?" "How do Orthodox Christians differ from Eastern Catholics?" "Why do so many diverse Eastern Churches exist?" While it cannot answer all these questions thoroughly, this concise booklet can help interested laity, theological students, and ministers come to understand and respect Eastern Catholicism for its many contributions to the universal Catholic Church.

Book Description
As we, all know, over time things change and some practices are eliminated for convenience. Our practices in serving our God through our services are no different. Not only we have forgotten their significance but we also have added things that are foreign to the Orthodox Faith such as ecumenism, modernism and severe changes to our liturgical cycle, such as ignoring the Typikon, introducing instrumental and polyphonic music and others. This book is trying to rejuvenate some of the Traditions of the Orthodox Church. As such, it addresses some of the Teleturgical practices and relates their usage to the early practices of the apostolic age. I hope that both the clergy and the cantors will find this volume helpful. For the general reader we hope that some of the practices we reference as part of our Orthodox services will be better understood. The flow of the content begins with an overview of Tradition and it follows with some of the basic and necessary books used in our liturgical services. The discussion continues with the daily services, Holy Liturgy and closes with a summary. This book also has four appendices. The first one gives an overview of the Apostolic Constitutions with short commentaries and the second one includes the Didache in both Greek and English. The third appendix covers the liturgical Traditions and the last one discusses the early Christian liturgies.
