This is the fourth volume of a detailed and systematic exposition
of the history, canonical structure, doctrine, moral and social
teaching, liturgical services, and spiritual life of the Orthodox
Church. The purpose of this series is to present Orthodox
Christianity as an integrated theological and liturgical system, in
which all elements are interconnected. Volume One focused on the
history and canonical structure of the Orthodox Church; Volume Two
on the fundamental teachings of the Church, grounded in Scripture
and Tradition; Volume Three on the unique aspects of Orthodox art
as expressed in its architecture, icons, and liturgical music. In
Volume Four the history, structure, and meaning of the Church's
liturgical services-including the daily, weekly, yearly, and festal
cycles-are explored and explained. Both beginners and experts can
benefit from this thorough examination of Orthodox worship and
liturgical life. In the services of the Church, heaven and earth
meet. As St Vladimir's envoys to Constantinople said, "We knew not
whether we were in heaven or earth.... We only know that God dwells
among men. We cannot forget that beauty."
