Liturgy and Byzantinization in Jerusalem

Liturgy and Byzantinization in Jerusalem is destined to become a standard reference to any work on Hagiopolite Liturgy and the beginning point for any further research in the liturgical tradition of Jerusalem. It is of great value for liturgists and historians of Jerusalem as liturgy-the ritual expression of faith-was (and is) so central to the life of Christians in the Holy City of Jerusalem.
