The Divine Liturgy of the Great Church
with Melodies for Congregational Singing
In a new expanded edition.—Compiled and edited, OCA Texts revised, annotated, and set to the
melodies, by Paul N. Harrilchak, presbyter in the Diocese of Washington, Orthodox Church in America
"Authentic Orthodox theology - Scriptural, patristic, liturgical - can provide us with real answers,
and protect us from real dangers: pseudo-scholarship, pseudo-spirituality, and pseudo-Americanism."
-Fr, John Meyendorff, August 1984, assuming responsibility for the bright lamp of learning relinquished
by Fr. Alexander Schmemann. Echoing Fr. John's appraisal, we have assembled the material set forth in
"The Divine Liturgy of the Great Church"...Fr. John made good use of the original 1984 edition of our book.
"...with this release, both clergy and laity who love our familiar Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom should grab a copy. As a service book,
it very effectively opens liturgy to more personal involvement. However, to truly appreciate all that the book has to offer, one has to sit down
with an attitude of prayerful study and wrestle with it."
~ Reviews from: Peter Galadza, St. Paul University, Ottawa and Professor John Erickson,
St. Vladimir’s Theological Seminary; as well as Gregory McKinney, on "Goodreads.com" Read the review.
Here is a resource book for priests, deacons, chanters, catechists, theology students, and interested
laity:
 The text of the Divine Liturgy annotated for comprehension
Fathers ancient and modern have their say
A Glossary of Terms (Can the Orthodox Speak English?)
And a close-up look at the 1967 OCA translation
Our work explores underpinnings of Fr. Schmemann's thought about "a rebirth of the liturgical life."
Lifting a concept from Chrysostom, we look at liturgical matters through the lens of Liturgical Realism - "these things mean what they say."
And this in light of Fr. Alexander's caveat in
Liturgy and Life. "The Orthodox way of life consists in...creative 'actualization' of Church tradition;
refusing to follow it, we consciously or unconsciously abandon Orthodoxy."
Contents:
We give the text of the Divine Liturgy, with scriptural language and allusion amply noted.
We offer an array of chants to bring our assemblies to life, together with a complement of
Ukrainian songs with a new life in English.
Troparia and kondakia for Sundays and Saturday, plus ten feasts of the Lord.
Trisagion for the Dead, with Greek and Slavic
chants.
And, to inform, to instill and deepen
understanding: copious and reliable annotation in the form of glosses, footnotes, sidebars, and the occasional essay.
With its studied revision, correction and refinement of the 1967 OCA text of the Chrysostom
Liturgy — formal-equivalence translation in the manner of RSV/NewRSV carried out in light of the
Greek/Slavonic textual tradition and a plethora of Scriptural, liturgical and lexical scholarship—with
its unique Scriptural, patristic, liturgical and historical annotation, The Divine
Liturgy of the Great Church… may be the single most important resource book for the Divine Liturgy
you can have at hand.
