Historically grounded look at kneeling at the Eucharist and its debates. This book surveys how the Declaration on Kneeling emerged in the English Prayer Book and the centuries of discourse surrounding the Real Presence.

It presents a careful, documentary-style view of the topic, tracing key arguments, quotations, and the shifting opinions of church leaders. Readers will follow how this settlement was shaped, challenged, and interpreted within its historical context.

• Clear timeline of debates about kneeling, the Real Presence, and related liturgical questions


• Explanations of how the Declaration evolved in the 16th and 17th centuries


• Discussion of how scholars, clergy, and readers have understood the Eucharist


• Notes on sources, scholarship, and the broader historical context

Ideal for readers of church history and those interested in how liturgical choices reflect theological and political dynamics.
