The Annotated Book of Common Prayer: Being an Historical, Ritual, and Theological Commentary on the Devotional System (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Annotated Prayer Book has been, cai-efully revised in -- every part, many additions have been made, and the form of the page has been so altered as to bring the references conveniently together, with letters of reference carried across the page throngh both columns in regular succession. [1] The Historical Introduction has been entirely rewritten, and much additional matter has been included. This is especially the case in the account of the Revision of 1661, where the constitutional manner in which theE cclesiastical work of revision was ratified by the Civil authorities is now much more fully illustrated from the Journals of the Houses of Lords and Commons. [2] The Notes on theM inor, Festivals have also been entirely rewritten by their author, the Rev. Joseph Thomas Fowler of Durham, who has spared no pains in the endeavour to give them a critical value as trustworthy, though necessarily very condensed, accounts of theS aints commemorated on those days. [3] The Gospels andE pistles have been printed at length, with some critical improvements which appear in theM anuscript of the Prayer Book, but which were unaccountably neglected in theS ealed Books and in subsequent editions. These improvements are more particularly referred to below. [4] The Psalms have been revised in the same manner from theM anuscript of the Prayer Bopk and from the Great Bible. Brief historical notices of the Psalms have also been added to theL iturgical references given in former editions. [5] The Introduction to theO rdinal has been much enlarged by the addition ofT ables shewing, in as much detail as space will allow, the course of Ministerial descent and succession from our Lord and His Apostles to the living Clergy of the Church of England.
