A stunningly beautiful revised edition of Archbishop Joseph Raya's translation of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the jewel and centerpiece of Byzantine spirituality. Archbishop Raya here instills into his translation a renewed sense of reverence and awe before the immense majesty and incomprehensible love of God our Father. This edition contains a new Foreword by Archbishop Raya, explaining how the Divine Liturgy developed against the backdrop of the great ancient heresies about the Person and Nature of our Lord Jesus, and that as such it contains a full and serene exposition of who Christ is and why He came to earth. Like all of Archbishop Raya's work, this edition of the Divine Liturgy doesn't supply simply a text and some technical directions - rather, it is suffused with the Archbishop's joy in Christ and enthusiastic love for Him.
