Liturgy and Byzantinization in Jerusalem

Liturgy and Byzantinization in Jerusalem is destined to become a standard reference to any work on Hagiopolite Liturgy and the beginning point for any further research in the liturgical tradition of Jerusalem. It is of great value for liturgists and historians of Jerusalem as liturgy-the ritual expression of faith-was (and is) so central to the life of Christians in the Holy City of Jerusalem. * Stefanos Alexopoulos, Associate Professor of Liturgical Studies and Sacramental Theology at the Catholic University of America., Reading Religion * This work fills a much needed void in our understanding of the liturgical tradition in Jerusalem. ... Overall, this is an excellent work and well worth reading for those interested in liturgical development and the issue of legitimate liturgical diversity. * John Ramsey, Orthodoxy in Dialogue * Galadza has established himself as a leading scholar of Eastern Christian liturgy, and the publication of his first monograph confirms that the high esteem in which he is held by his colleagues is merited by the outstanding quality of his research. ... This volume is a major contribution to the field of Eastern Christian liturgical studies, which has begun to attract considerable scholarly interest among Western scholars in recent years. ... Overall, this is a work of enormous value. * Gregory Tucker, Journal of Orthodox Christian Studies * No one will be able to say anything about this history of the Orthodox Liturgy of Jerusalem after the seventh century without consulting this outstanding study. It is a first-rate piece of work... I recommend it highly. * Maxwell E. Johnson, Worship *
