Shield of David. Interpretation of the Psalms Used in Orthodox Worship

The Psalter is one of the books most "familiar" to an Orthodox Christian. The psalms fill Orthodox worship, and they are recited at all church services without exception, including the most important one—the Divine Liturgy. Psalms, written over two thousand years ago, still form the basis of our prayer rule. This book will help understand the historical, cultural, and spiritual meaning of the psalms used in the services of the Orthodox Church, and see why the psalms have been and remain at the center of the prayer practice of every Christian.
