Fr. Josiah Trenham
LS0045
In this series Father Josiah explains the great significance of corporate evening prayer in the Jewish and Christian traditions - Vespers. He surveys the structure and meaning of the text of the Vespers service, sets forth an understanding of the sublime Lenten service known to Orthodox Christians as the Presanctified Liturgy, and explains how the entire drama of redemption in Jesus Christ is unveiled in the flow of every Vespers service. Since we believe what we pray, and pray what we believe the acquisition of an understanding of the Vespers service itself is greatly nourishing to a strong confession of traditional Christian faith.
