The worship of the Armenians and their Christian neighbors -- Byzantine, and East and West Syrian -- conserved and transmitted through liturgy, remains as a vital link to their heritage, and this collection provides the key to the heart of the Christian East. The voices captured in the pages of this book originate from a symposium held in honor of St Nersess Armenian Theological Seminary's 40th anniversary, where a panoply of scholars currently working in the field of Eastern liturgy shared the fruits of their work.
