THE PSALTYRION – REVELATION OF THE WELL RECEIVED PRAYER
THE PSALTYRION – REVELATION OF THE WELL RECEIVED PRAYER

Summary/Abstract: In this study we are proposing to reveal the Psalms as a model for prayers welcomed by God and pleasing to Him. Therefore, we will try to argue the above-mentioned through substantially biblical arguments, starting from the internal structure of Psalms, reaching at the way that Psalms were received by the first Christian communities. Then we will mention and analyze the testimony of the Church Fathers about the way that Psalms were assumed into individual and community prayer program. To distinguish the impact that Psalms had (and are still having) into liturgical life, we will expose their position inside of all Orthodox rituals. Before ending this demarche, we will mention the opinion of the Church Fathers regarding Psalm Book as well as the manner they argue it’s frequent use by Christians.
