- Ancient Traditions and the Emergence of New Paradigms in the New Millenium: Faith and Praxis
The tale begins with the creation of the first Prayer Book in 1549. The Guide surveys how the Prayer Book developed and took root in English culture. The story then describes how Anglican missionaries and others brought the Prayer Book to far corners of the British Empire. In the twentieth century, Anglican churches throughout the world began to develop their own, unique versions of the Prayer Book to serve the needs of their local communities. The Guide describes the development of indigenous Prayer Books in Africa, the nations of the Pacific, Asia, North and South America, and Europe. It explains how, in the dozens of Prayer Books in current use, the same basic texts - Daily Prayers, the Eucharist, Marriage and Funerals, and many others - resemble each other, and differ from each other. Finally, a brief look at the future of "electronic Prayer Books" offers a glimpse at how this story of development and adaptation may continue.
John Donne, Samuel Johnson, Jane Austen, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, Dorothy Sayers, and P. D. James, among many others, worshiped from the Prayer Book, giving it immense literary influence. The Prayer Book family has created worship language that remains within Anglican tradition, while adapting to very different cultural contexts. Prayer Books in New Zealand, for example, incorporate Maori elements, and ones in Myanmar use Buddhist prayer forms - just a few of the fascinating facts in this rich and varied history. In this Guide any reader, Anglican or not, can learn why The Book of Common Prayer is a classic of liturgy and literature.

Factors such as the size and weight of the book, as well as the country of destination, may necessitate an adjustment to the cost of delivery. The policy of Basileia Books is that the customer pays for the actual cost of postage. The accounting system at abebooks necessitates a surcharge of approximately 13.5 percent above the actual costs. We will continue to offer customers the most desirable and cost-efficient means of delivery, despite the ever-rising prices. Basileia Books ships orders to customers through the United States Postal Service. Other shipping outlets are available upon special request. Among the options are DHL, Federal Express, and the United Parcel Service (UPS). For postage withing the USA, Basileia Books includes the charge for Signature Confirmation in the postage price with each book order.

Under no circumstances will Basileia Books be held liable for non-delivery of items that have been received by the Postal Service. Customers who want to insure an item in transit should make a request as part of the book order. In most cases, insurance will necessitate a modest increase in the price of postage.
