"Born of Thomas Cranmer's desire for liturgical texts upon which all of Europe's Protestant, English-speaking churches could agree, the beautiful and dignified language of the Book of Common Prayer, first issued in 1549, has considerably influenced not only ecclesiastical practice, but has served as a source of spiritual inspiration for most Englishmen second only to the Bible" (Printing and the Mind of Man 75).
