Tasting Heaven on Earth: Worship in Sixth-Century Constantinople (The Church at Worship: Case Studies from Christian History (CAW))
The Church at Worship is a new series of documentary case studies of specific worshiping communities from around the world and throughout Christian history. In this second volume, Tasting Heaven on Earth, Walter Ray provides vivid descriptions of Constantinople, its history, its people, and its worship practices, which set the stage for a rich selection of primary documents that present readers with a vibrant snapshot of Byzantine Christianity in the sixth century.
Some of the primary materials included here:
Photos of mosaics, liturgical vessels, icons, and manuscripts
Drawings, diagrams, descriptions, and photographs of Hagia Sophia
Firsthand accounts of worship by Maximus the Confessor, Eutychius, and Procopius
Liturgical prayers and a reconstruction of the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil
