Light & Life Publishing has released a book titled Byzantine Liturgical Reform: A Study of Liturgical Change in the Byzantine Tradition. From the description of the book:
"The author...demonstrates that deliberate liturgical reform is nothing new in the Byzantine rite. He offers four examples of reform: (1) The Studite reform (8th c.) (2) the Pascal triduum (8-13th c.) (3) the Prothesis development (11-14th c.) (4) three 17th c. reforms among the Orthodox in Kiev under Metrop, Peter Moghila, and in Moscow under Patriarch Nikon."
Has anyone read this book?

I haven't read it, but I've heard about different "reforms" that have occurred. If you think about it, the Liturgies of St. Basil, St. John Chrysostom, etc... were all reforms, since they simply shortened parts the Liturgy (and added some new prayers). |

Keep an open mind and always remember that the Liturgies we have today did not spontaneously erupt or be divinely revealed. Rather they were a product of various practices, dogmatic definitions and evolution over the centuries.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

It would be useful to know the author of the book, then we can see if he is qualified to write on this topic or merely expressing personal opinions.
As for Metropolitan Petro Mohyla, many have argued that his Trebnyk introduced some Latinizations into the Orthodox Church. It is online some where but I have lost the link.
To the best of my knoweldge I do not believe he made changes to the celebration of the Divine Liturgy itself.

You can read a book review here: http://www.amazon.com/Byzantine-Liturgical-Reform-Change-Tradition/dp/0881413437The author is a Greek Catholic monk who discusses the topic from a RC background with references to Vatican 2. I think the use of the word "Byzantine" inthe title gives hints of the Greek Catholic background and context in which the book is written. I wouldn't waste my money on it. Actually I am surprised that "Light & Life" would even carry it for sale. |

It's not published by Light and Life. The publisher is Saint Vladimir's Seminary Press. |

The Catholics have so many of their own presses for their books. I wish St. Vladimir's Press would publish more English translations of Russian theologians, especially the theologians who were writing in all the church journals before the Sobor of 1917 discussing the role of the laity inthe church. We nedto read these works. |

O Lord although I desired to blot out
with my tears the handwriting of my many sins
And for the rest of my life to please Thee
through sincere repentance
Yet doth the enemy lead me astray as he wareth
against my sould with his cunning
O Lord before I utterly perish do Thou save me!

I'm very much interested in the ways the liturgy developed in the Slavic lands after the fall of the Byzantine Empire.
