How the Liturgy Took Shape
Prepared for SermonIndex with the help of artificial intelligence. The quotations are word for word from the sources named with each: the King James Version, and the translations printed in this series.

The Jewish Roots of the Liturgy
Prepared for SermonIndex with the help of artificial intelligence.

Each quotation is word for word from the text named with it. Licence: Public domain (quotations); CC BY-SA 4.0 (notes and essays).
The Liturgies Compared
Prepared for SermonIndex with the help of artificial intelligence. The marks for each part of the service are our judgment, and a liturgist may disagree; the quotations are word for word from the translations of Neale, Brightman, Hapgood, Wordsworth, Gibson, Cooper and Maclean, Atchley and others, and were checked by a script against the texts.

The Divine Liturgy of Saint Basil the Great
English translation by Isabel F. Hapgood, Service Book of the Holy Orthodox-Catholic Apostolic (Greco-Russian) Church (New York: Houghton, Mifflin, 1906), the later Orthodox text; public domain. The text was read by machine (OCR) from a scan of the book and has not been proofread against the printed pages. The Greek of the Barberini manuscript (Brightman, 1896), which the SermonIndex website prints beside it, is not printed here. SermonIndex has divided the text into sections. Licence: Public domain.
