That's not to say he skimps on substance. Herein you'll fine source material for the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and Eucharist gathered from the troves of early patristic texts: the Didache, The Apology of St. Justin Martyr, The Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus, the Anaphora of Addai and Mari, the Euchologion of Serapion (a prayer book ...

What began as a collector's fascination with an old altar cross in an European cathedral became this simple and direct history of the cross and the legends, facts, myths, and customs connected with it throughout history.

A time for self-denial, soul-searching, and spiritual preparation, Lent is traditionally observed by daily reading and reflection. This collection will satisfy the growing hunger for meaningful and accessible devotions. Culled from the wealth of twenty centuries, the selections in Bread and Wine are ecumenical in scope, and represent t... View More...

Bouyer's famous study of the origin and development of the Eucharist, specifically that section of the liturgy known as the Canon or the Anaphora, from its Jewish roots through its various Eastern and Western forms down to the present, stands with Dix'sThe Shape of the Liturgy and The Mass of the Roman Rite as one of the three great works of liturgical history this century. Bouyer surveys a formidable selection of eucharistic prayers, quoting many verbatim, and includes and examines examples from the Anglican and other Protestant liturgical traditions as well. CONTENTS: Theologies on the Eucha... View More...
