As more Logos users, on the forums at least, are showing an interest in understanding the seasons, lectionaries, etc. I think there is now a market for the very readable works of Paul F. Bradshaw - especially the first book listed below. They also have value for individuals interested in early church history or in Christian worship.

  • Two Ways of Praying
  • Daily Prayer in the Early Church
  • Origins of Feasts, Fasts and Seasons
  • Eucharistic Origins
  • Early Christian Worship: A Basic Introduction to Ideas and Practices

I've probably recommended them before but they are still good.[:D]

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I think this might have been the book we used in Practical Theology years ago, but I'm not sure.
