Reviving the Liturgical Enterprise of Alexander Schmemann

by Nicholas Denysenko

Thirty-five years have elapsed since the untimely passing of Father Alexander Schmemann, but there seems to be a consensus that his legacy remains alive and well in both the Church and the academy. Since church leaders and scholars generally take Schmemann’s influence for granted, rare is the attempt to review the impact of his thought on the liturgy.

Nicholas Denysenko
