OverviewThis exploration is an initial attempt to shed light on the mutual interaction between Coptic and Jewish traditions by demonstrating a Jewish impact on the early stage of the Alexandrian Church as seen in the Coptic Morning Service. It explores the possible influence of the Jewish liturgies and prayers, including the writings of the late Second Temple era (200 BCE-70 CE) on some of the origins of fundamental Coptic rituals. The Coptic Morning Service holds almost identical texts and order of prayers, along with many major Jewish thematic interrelations. This study argues for an important lacuna in the spirituality of the contemporary Coptic worshiper. The mystifications surrounding many Coptic liturgical components prevent parishioners from praying with understanding (1 Cor. 14:15). The twenty-first century Copt needs a sort of ""Halakah"" guidance towards their worshiping practices. This research hopes to offer a potential reconstruction of the early history of the Alexandrian Church through liturgy that could open a new scholarly field of Judeo-Coptic studies.
