Analecta Georgiana Series Volume 131
The classic introduction to Eastern Orthodox liturgies, King's two-volume, The Rites of Eastern Christendom has been a scarce source for too many years. Gorgias Press has brought this title back into circulation. For those whose interest lies in specific Orthodox Churches, the Analecta Gorgiana series offers the opportunity to purchase individual fascicles of King's magisterial study.
The text presents some historical background to each church to provide an appropriate setting, including a description of the church's hierarchy, architecture, and liturgical furnishings. 65pp Paper (2009)
