Isten igéjének felolvasása a keleti liturgiában

The Eastern liturgy is essentially rooted in the reading and proclamation of the Word of God. The reading of the biblical texts – the Gospels and the Epistles – plays a fundamental role in the services, as the Word of God is considered an active revelation that interacts with the faithful. This study examines how the reading of the sacred texts is integrated into the liturgy of the Orthodox Church and its function in the transmission of grace, spiritual formation, and mystical communion between God and humans. The study analyses the history and development of biblical readings, their structure, theological importance, and their role in the liturgical life of the Orthodox Church, using patristic teachings and the contributions of contemporary theologians.
