The Divine Liturgy: A Commentary in the Light of the Fathers (Hardcover)
The Divine Liturgy: A Commentary in the Light of the Fathers by Hieromonk Gregorios, Elder of the Cell of St. John the Theologian, Koutloumousiou Monastery, Mount Athos, is the most important commentary on the Divine Liturgy published in recent memory. Based on the writings of the Holy Fathers of the Church, it draws the reader into "the mystery of God’s love; that it was given because He first loved us; and that from it we obtain the beneficence of becoming participants in Christ and images of His love."
Assiduously referenced, Fr. Gregorios begins by introducing the reader to the history and purpose of this great mystery of the Church. He then leads the reader through the entire service, from its preparation in the Rite of Kairos, through the concluding final dismissal of the faithful. The Divine Liturgy: A Commentary in the Light of the Fathers is a book for both newcomers to the holy Orthodox faith, and for those who wish to acquire a deeper understanding of its theology and symbolism leading to a more profound participation in sacrament of the Divine Eucharist.
This beautifully crafted, three color edition, has been designed to make it easier to use in catechetical settings.

Exquisite Commentary on the Divine Liturgy
This is a truly outstanding book regarding the theological content and quality of the publication! The theological content is based on the writings of the Holy Fathers of the Eastern Orthodox Church as evidenced by the extensive list of references. This remarkable book conveys to the readers the mystical meaning of the Divine Liturgy and unveils the importance of every part of the sacrament according to the Holy Fathers. The exquisite quality of the book is strongly evidenced by the multiple editions in Greek and English since 1982 (first Greek edition). Moreover, the highest publication quality is remarkable, rendering the book an invaluable treasure in every aspect.
As always, the book was mailed and delivered very quickly. Father Michael, thank you very much for always providing the highest quality resources about our Orthodox faith and great service! -

Excellent
This book is exquisite, both in content and appearance. The cover is just beautiful, as are the pages, with lovely sacred designs, gold edges, and ribbon markers. Hieromonk Gregorios provides a comprehensive spiritual explanation of the entire Divine Liturgy, and then some. This book is accessible to all and is a must-read for any Eastern Christian who desires a deeper relationship with Our Lord through the study of the liturgy of the Church.

Outstanding Resource for Liturgical Formation
This book is a quality presentation that provides a professional synthesis of historic development, patristic commentary, and devotional material related to the Divine Liturgy.
The book itself is of outstanding quality. The cover is imprinted with remarkable detail, the ribbons are a nice touch, and the material is integrated into the format of the liturgy itself. This could be used for academic study, or devotional prayer. -
