Reviews
"First, Fr. Mc Monagle carefully engages a little-known aspect of liturgical studies. Only a handful of scholars have focused their attention on the use of Western rite liturgies among the Orthodox of North America. A second lasting contribution is McMonagle's fresh engagement of two perennial points of tension between the Eastern and Western streams of Christianity. While the one is creedal and other liturgical, both are of deep theological import. A third feature of his volume is McMonagle's richly nuanced attention to the role of the Holy Spirit in and through the liturgical rites and practices of the community of faith. The fourth contribution of this volume is its insistence on the liturgy as the church's primary form of theological expression."
