About
Welcome to Byzantique!
Byzantique is a commentary corpus on the biblical text, displayed alongside the rhythm of the Eastern Orthodox lectionary. The pages below explain the texts and translations used, the general approach of this site, abbreviations you'll encounter, and answers to common questions.
Please don't blame my boss or my bishop: The thoughts, musings, and occasional architectural ruins of arguments found on this site belong solely to me. They absolutely do not speak for my day-job employer, nor do they represent the official voice of the Orthodox Church, my diocese, or my parish. In fact, I don't even agree with everything posted here. Sharing a text or a quote is an act of curiosity, not an endorsement. I comment on things because they make me think, not because I agree with the premise, but because I found them worth chewing on.
