[From back cover] From the beginning the Church has used hymns as a vivid means of expressing its spirit and doctrine. Here Dr John McGuckin presents free-verse translations of some of the best-known early hymns, alongside the original Greek and Latin texts. They communicate to us the spirit of the ancient Church, 'a spirit imbued with the deepest sense of prayerful worship of the Lord of Glory'. John McGuckin, an Orthodox theologian, is Reader in Patristic and Byzantine Theology at the University of Leeds. He has published several books on patristic writings.
