Our Orthodox Faith
The temporary life begins with birth and ends with death. It has a beginning and an end. But the life in the world to come, while having a beginning, will have no end. That is, it will be eternal and it will be blessed for the believers and those who obey God's will but will be an endless torment for the unbelievers and the sinners. What is eternal life? It is, above all, a defined state of the human soul. It does not depend on distance or time. Consequently, it begins here on earth. Jesus Christ says: "The Kingdom of God is within you," that is, it begins and expands here on earth.

The Orthodox Liturgy
How has the Orthodox liturgy come to have the shape it has? How different is it from the eucharistic rites of the Western churches? Hugh Wybrew's authoritative but splendidly readable book traces the development of the Orthodox liturgy from the Last Supper to the present day.

Byzantium and Bulgaria, 775-831
This innovative survey of Byzantium's relations with pre-Christian Bulgaria in the late eighth and early ninth century offers an entirely new framework for understanding the developments that shaped one of the most turbulent periods in the history of the early Medieval Balkans. Unlike previous studies, it integrates the surviving literary sources with the ever-growing archaeological record to construct a comprehensive narrative account of the Byzantine-Bulgar conflict for political mastery in the region. Moreover, the analysis of the changing socio-political structures of Bulgaria provides a basis for understanding its transformation from a loose tribal confederation into a stable monarchy. While this is primarily a regional study, focusing on the territories and peoples controlled by the two competing powers, it is also of interest to students of the Frankish, Arab and steppe-nomad worlds, since the relations between Byzantium and Bulgaria are put into a wider international context.
