Orthodox Worship

A Living Continuity with the Synagogue, the Temple, and the Early Church

De: Benjamin D. Williams, Harold B. Anstall

Narrado por: Deacon Kenneth Timothy

Ancient Faith has produced a fresh update and redesign of a book cherished by a generation of seekers. Written in an accessible manner for the average lay person, Orthodox Worship offers insights into the Orthodox liturgy. Early Christians preserved a continuity of worship from the Old Covenant to the New, employing elements from the Jewish Temple liturgy, the synagogue liturgy, and the rituals of the Jewish home. The book shows how divinely revealed Old Testament worship is not only continued but also fulfilled in the Orthodox liturgy. A line-by-line explanation of the liturgy is included.

Orthodox Worship as it should be explained.

This is the book and information I have been looking for months to give me a deeper meaning of Orthodox Worship. Other books go over parts of worship, the meaning and only the Orthodox faith. This book helps the seeker and Catechumen a clearer understanding of why and how the Church liturgy is done in the Orthodox Church today. I enjoyed this book and audio greatly as I can now better follow along during with the Liturgy and recieve a deeper meaning of the curch as I move closer to the Holy Trinity. I most highly recommend this book to all seekers and Catechumens of the Orthodox faith.

Very helpful

This book is really for catechumens or people inquiring into the Orthodox Church. It is well written and supported contrary to what another reviewer wrote. It will not satisfy cynics because that's not who the book was written for. It does explain Orthodox worship quite well at a popular level. check it out.

Comprehensive!

This is a very well formulated and narrated comprehensive inteoduction and explication of Orthodox Christian Liturgical Worship, with detailed explanations and walk through the various components of Divine Worship as experienced in the Orthodox Church, that opens and clarifies its various aspects for Western, North American protestant, roman catholic or secular listeners, and details the historic and biblical contexts of the origins and developments in Orthodox Christian Worship that are traced back to pre-Christian Jewish worship practices, Early Christian and how the Western churches became alienated from the Orthodox and why it iis worthwhile for them to find their way back into Orthodox Liturgical Worship.

A good thorough review of the liturgy.

If you’re looking what the liturgy consists of in an Orthodox service look no further.This book traces each step within the divine liturgy. It also mentions some of it’s historical changes. One thing I would’ve appreciated more is a Fair analysis of differences between Orthodox beliefs and Roman Catholicism.
Having studied Roman Catholicism I am in favor of the Roman catholic point of view and feel that this book is lacking in its defense of orthodoxy being the one holy and Catholic and apostolic church.

Important for Catechumens

This is a solid and enjoyable review of the history and meaning of our worship. However, the reader is too formal and makes everything sound like a news anchor is reading it. It sort of detracts from the heaviness of the topic and makes it sound like an infomercial. Otherwise still worth listening to or reading.
