"Stefanos Alexopoulos represents the best of a new generation of scholars who study Eastern Christian Liturgy. Coming from a traditional Orthodox country and educated in the best schools in North America, he ably combines authentic experience with rigorous study in his scholarship. His work is thus reliable, accessible, and fresh for those new to this field." (Very Rev. Alexander Rentel, director of the master of divinity program, St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary)

"Stefanos Alexopoulos is a highly regarded specialist in Byzantine Liturgy and has studied and written on its place in the wider context of the theological and spiritual traditions of the other Christian Churches of the East. Recent world events have drawn our attention to the Christians of Egypt, Armenia, Iraq, Turkey, and other places. I am delighted to know that the spiritual heritages of these Christians will be made available more widely in a series of presentations by this excellent scholar and engaging speaker." (Dominic E. Serra, SLD)

"Noted author, priest, scholar, and teacher, there is no one better than Fr. Stefanos Alexopoulos to introduce the distinct spirituality of the Christian East. His work is firmly based in Scripture, the Fathers of the Church, and, not least, in the Church's classic Liturgy and the best of contemporary liturgical-theological scholarship. For the spirituality of the Christian East, as Fr. Stefanos teaches, is at heart a liturgical spirituality." (The Rev. Dr. Maxwell E. Johnson, professor of liturgy, University of Notre Dame)
