Book Synopsis Evening Worship in the Orthodox Church by : N. Uspenskīĭ
Download or read book Evening Worship in the Orthodox Church written by N. Uspenskīĭ and published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study on evening worship in the Orthodox Church, Nicholas Uspensky reveals the true purpose for which the service of Vespers came into existence: the ancient Christian tradition of giving thanks for the evening light, and the faith which this tradition implies concerning the presence of Christ in the midst of those gathered in His name. While tracing the evolution of the rites of Vespers and the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts from their Old Testamental antecedents to their present forms today, he calls upon liturgical commentators to stand closer to the meaning attached to the service of evening worship by the ancient Church. This valuable historical-liturgical study also discusses the Communion which is added to the Vespers in the midst of the Fast, and the differences that exist between the Greek and Russian orders of service for the sacraments of penance and the Eucharist.

Book Synopsis The Church Impotent by : Leon J. Podles
Download or read book The Church Impotent written by Leon J. Podles and published by Spence Publishing Company. This book was released on 1999 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current preoccupation with the role of women in the church obscures the more serious problem of the perennial absence of men. This provocative book argues that Western churches have become women's clubs, that the emasculation of Christianity is dangerous for the church and society, and that a masculine presence can and must be restored.After documenting the highly feminized state of Western Christianity, Dr. Podles identifies the masculine traits that once characterized the Christian life but are now commonly considered incompatible with it. He contends that though masculinity has been marginalized within Christianity, it cannot be expunged from human society. If detached from Christianity, it reappears as a substitute religion, with unwholesome and even horrific consequences. The church, too, is diminished by its emasculation. Dr. Podles concludes by considering how Christianity's virility might be restored.In the otherwise stale and overworked field of gender studies, The Church Impotent is the only book to confront the lopsidedly feminine cast of modern Christianity with a profound analysis of its historical and sociological roots.

The Contents Introduction Great Vespers Artoklasia Lenten Sunday Vespers Lenten Daily Vespers Pascha & Renewal Week Appendix: Priestly Prayers From the Introduction The intent of this publication is to offer an English language service book for the various forms of Vespers, to be used by the laity in accordance with common practice in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. As the primary target of this publication is the lay person, we have chosen to offer unabbreviated service texts for each form of the Vespers, in order that one does not need to flip back and forth as might be found with other service texts intended for Reader and Chanter. For clergy, we have added the 7 prayers of Vespers and the Prayer at the Bowing of the Heads as an Appendix to this volume. About the Translation As with many services of the Orthodox Church, the Psalter (or book of Psalms) is the basis of evening prayer in the service of Vespers. For this volume, we have chosen to use the scripture from the St. Athanasius Academy Septuagint(tm), which is a translation commonly found in English-based Orthodox worship.

Book Synopsis Welcome to the Orthodox Church by : Frederica Mathewes-Green
Download or read book Welcome to the Orthodox Church written by Frederica Mathewes-Green and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the Orthodox Church—its history, theology, worship, spirituality, and daily life. This friendly guide provides a comprehensive introduction to Orthodoxy, but with a twist: readers learn by making a series of visits to a fictitious church, and get to know the faith as new Christians did for most of history, by immersion. Mathews-Green provides commentary and explanations on everything from how to “venerate” an icon, the Orthodox understanding of the atonement, to the Lenten significance of tofu. It’s the perfect book for inquirers and newcomers, but even readers who have been Orthodox all their lives say they learned things they never knew before. Enjoyable, easy-to-read, and leavened with humor, Welcome to the Orthodox Church is a gracious guide to the ancient faith of the Christian East.

Orthodoxy continues to be a subject of enormous interest among Western Christians, and the author believes that an understanding of its standpoint is necessary before the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches can be reunited.
