The Eternal Sacrifice appeared originally in Fr. Steven's blog ?Orthodox Truth? as a series of daily commentaries on the passages from Genesis read at Vespers every weekday of the Orthodox Great Lent. The present volume provides the texts of the Scripture readings themselves along with the author's commentary, which aims at giving an authentic patristic reading of the text while providing contemporary advice to the Orthodox layman living in the world. Not only Eastern Orthodox readers, however, but also Eastern Rite Catholics who follow the Byzantine lectionary, as well as all those who seek life-changing truth in the Scriptures, will find The Eternal Sacrifice an engaging and accessible invitation to go more deeply into the first book of the Bible.
