Popular Patristics Series Volume 59 St Maximus the Confessor (c. 580-662) beautifully expounds the meaning of the Divine Liturgy in On the Ecclesiastical Mystagogy, which had a profound influence on the subsequent tradition, beginning with St Germanus of Constantinople (PPS 8). Maximus' vision of the liturgy contemplates the interpenetrating relationships of all things with each other and with Christ, In whom all things cohere. The church building and the human being and the cosmos are all mutually related and symbolically reflect each other. Further, In the liturgy we enter into the mystery of Christ. As St Maximus puts it, "Let us not be absent from the holy Church of God because she contains such great mysteries of our salvation according to... and she reveals the gift of adoption that is given through holy baptism in the Holy Spirit and that perfects each one into the image of Christ."

Dio Chrysostom or “golden mouth” (ca. 40–115 CE) was many things—rhetorician, orator, philosopher, historian, moralist as well as enemy and friend of Roman Emperors. He was a prime representative of the “Second Sophistic” movement. His command of the Greek language was Atticizing; his eighty extant discourses are a treasure trove of Greco-Roman cultural mores, lifestyle, religion, and ideology. Preeminent among these discourses are the first four of the collection—The Kingship Orations—written for the emperor Trajan. Within this Tier 5 Advanced Greek Reader of the AGROS series, the Greek text of Kingship Oration 1 is provided on the left page with glosses for Greek words occurring less than thirteen times in the Greek New Testament provided in footnotes. On the following page is space for composing one’s own translation and at the bottom a new English translation is provided for comparison. This is an ideal resource for self-study or classroom use. Features of this book include: • An Introduction to Dio Chrysostom’s Kingship Orations with a select bibliography; • A succinct discussion of the most salient features of Dio’s Greek; • A summary of the Constituent Marking Method for navigating the Greek text; • The Greek text of the first Kingship Oration with ample spacing and footnoting glosses for Greek words occurring less than thirteen times in the Greek New Testament; • On the opposite page, space for taking notes and making a translation and, at the bottom of the page, a fresh new translation of Kingship Oration 1; • An Appendix of Greek words occurring thirteen times or more in the Greek New Testament.
