For the Life of the World


by Alexander Schmemann

This is a powerful, articulate, inspiring, moving, classic and brilliant interpretation of the liturgy and sacraments of the Orthodox Church. Relevent to the world today.It is one of the best introductions to the sacraments . If you have not read it ...by all means do so now.

From the book cover:

In For the Life of the World, Alexander Schmemann suggests an approach to the world and life within it, which stems from the liturgical experience of the Orthodox Church. He understands issues such as secularism and Christian culture from the perspective of the unbroken experience of the Church, as revealed and communicated in her worship, in her liturgy --the sacrament of the world, the sacrament of the Kingdom."
