A book much needed, and unlike anything that has appeared in the English language on this subject, The Heavenly Banquet is more than a liturgical commentary.  With an abundance of copiously documented biblical citations and rich patristic references, the Divine Liturgy is explained line by line, word by word.  This book holds answers to all kinds of complex liturgical, social, and theological questions.

In-depth, yet easy to follow, written in simple, understandable language, this book will aid Catechists and instructors who can draw from its abundant material for presentation and discussion.  This work will be of great benefit to any Orthodox Christian who seeks to obtain a better understanding of the Divine Liturgy.  The richness and the thoroughness of the subjects treated in it make The Heavenly Banquet a treasure.
