The Prayer of Illumination

Más información sobre el libro

The book examines the liturgy of the Mar Thoma Church, focusing on the Eucharist's prayer for illumination. It evaluates the church's Eastern and Reformed identity through the teachings of early Eastern fathers like Gregory Nazianzen and Athanasius, alongside Reformer John Calvin. By comparing the Mar Thoma prayer for illumination with those in the Syrian liturgy and the Genevan psalter, the author draws conclusions that highlight the church's unique position and offers implications for its future practices.
