Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory history of the Book of Common Prayer, a text of supreme historical, literary, and religious significance. It shows how the text originated in the apostolic era and emerged from the Latin services of the medieval church. The final form that we recognise today resulted from the 16th-century Reformation, and this book follows the fascinating process of its development through the Prayer Book revisions of Edward VI, Elizabeth I, James VI and I, and Charles II. The author traces the development of each element of the service, helping us to appreciate the historical context and the richness of the book's language.
