- The Liturgy of St. James, historically associated with Jerusalem
- Excerpts from the sermons of Cyril, bishop of Jerusalem
Review
"What an extraordinary book Walking Where Jesus Walked is in every way. For those who know something about this period, here is a way of bringing it all together in one place. For those who know nothing about Jerusalem and the fourth century, the delight of entering this world awaits them....What a great start for this series on "The Church at Worship."
