09 — Legacy and Reception
What the Church has made of Andrew since: his veneration as a saint (feast July 4), the unrivalled liturgical place his Great Canon has held for thirteen centuries, and the modern editions, translations, and scholarship that have made the Canon accessible and have studied its formation of the penitent self. This section closes the collection with reception and bibliography.
This section treats Andrew’s cultus and the afterlife of his great work — its central place in the Lenten services, the major translations, and the scholarship (Krueger, Cunningham, and others) that has illuminated it.
