THE LITURGICAL ENVIRONMENT: THE ORTHODOX CHURCH BUILDING

This book deals with the liturgical environment of the Orthodox Church, focusing on (1) the church building, including aspects of its iconostasis and iconography, and (2) liturgical vestments. I will mainly approach these two issues from a historical perspective and follow, especially in the exposition of the development of the church building, a timeline similar to the one followed in my previous books on Orthodoxy, that is from its Jewish background to the end of the Byzantine Empire and beyond.
