A companion to "Prayers of the Eucharist: Early and Reformed
"
The Churches of the East possess a sometimes bewildering array
of Eucharistic prayers. "Essays on Early Eastern Eucharistic
Prayer" offers a guide to the exploration of the principal prayers,
and presents in a simple and succinct manner the current
scholarship on the origins, development, and relationship of these
particular prayers to other ancient prayers.
As well as summarizing the state of research and suggesting
directions for future study, these essays explain the history of
these prayers, their relationship to one another, and reveal how
and why early Christian prayers developed as they did. In this way
"Essays on Early Eastern Eucharistic Prayers" produces a clear
picture of the way early Eucharistic prayers emerged and grew in
the Eastern Churches.
"Essays on Early Eastern Eucharistic Prayers" serves as a
companion to - and provides an extended commentary on the texts of
early eastern Eucharistic prayers that are published in R. C. D.
Jasper and G. J. Cuming's "Prayers of the Eucharist: Early and
Reformed. Essays on Early Eastern Eucharistic Prayers" also offers
more detail than is available in the introductions to either text
or in other general histories of liturgy or early liturgical
practice.
