Download or read book The Byzantine Rite written by Robert F. Taft and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written regarding the western liturgy; the same cannot be said of the Byzantine liturgy. Father Taft contributes to a remedy of that shortfall through this work. In it he traces the origins of the Byzantine Rite during its period of formation: from its earliest recorded beginnings until the end of Byzantium (1453 c.e.). While the rite has undergone some change in the period since then, its outlines remain essentially the same.
