Shows how our experience of the worship of the Church should affect our whole life. Schmemann 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. Originally published under the title "Sacraments and Orthodoxy."

Fr. Schmemann's collection of essays on liturgical theology serves as a companion volume to his "Introduction to Liturgical Theology." He encourages a rediscovery of the eschatological and ecclesial aspects of the Liturgy.
