Fr. Alexander published many books and articles. ''For the Life of the World'', a popular volume on Christian faith as reflected in liturgy, has been translated into eleven languages. Originally prepared as a study guide for the National Student Christian Federation in 1963, it even had an anonymous version published by the underground [[samizdat]] in the Soviet Union. ''The Eucharist'' was finished just before his death. This and several collections of his writings were published posthumously.
