ENGLISH THEOLOGICAL TEXTS AND EXERCISES

Παρουσίαση

There are four parts in the book "English Theological Texts and Exercises" concerning the English theological terminology. The first part includes the lives of our Saints, their way of life, their education and their martyrdom. The second part consists of the varieties of the Divine Liturgy and its significance, the cycle of the Octoechos, the Epiphany service and some texts for the environment.
The third part is referred to the types of church architecture, the interior and the exterior of the church building, the sacred vestments of the clergy, the three orders of priesthood, the sacred vessels and the liturgical books used for the Divine Liturgy.
The fourth part includes excerpts from lectures concerning marriage in the Orthodox Church, the Primacy of the See of Constantinople, prayers, psalms and hymns as well.
The book is recommended for the English courses in the Faculty of Theology, in the Ecclesiastical Academies and to anyone who is interested in Theology in general.
"Now enlighten the eyes of my mind and open my mouth so that I may study Your sayings, understand Your commandments, do Your will, sing to You with thankful heart, and praise Your all-holy name". (From the publisher)
