The Layman s Introduction to the Book of Common Prayer: Being a Short History of Its Development (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to the history of the Book of Common Prayer, the collection of services and ceremonies used in the Church of England. Developed after the Church split from Rome in the 16th century, the Prayer Book reflects the evolution of Christian worship from its Jewish origins to its modern form. Beginning with the simple gatherings of the early Christians, the author traces the development of the Mass and other services through their codification in the Middle Ages. The book sheds light on the historical events and controversies that culminated in the creation of the current Prayer Book, while also exploring its theological themes, its enduring insights into the nature of Christian devotion, and its relevance to contemporary life.
