Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of the Prayer Book: Its Origin, Sources and Growth
Most of the works which give the history Of the Prayer Book with any approach to completeness, are too lengthy for the hasty general reader. It has seemed to me that there must be a place for a Shorter work which should still go over pretty nearly the whole ground. In this volume, therefore, I have tried to be brief as well as reason ably complete; and of course I have also tried to be truthful and accurate, and not entirely uninteresting.
The facts stated are such as are well known to students of the Prayer Book, and SO I have not deemed it necessary to en cumber the pages with notes and references. Such authorities have been consulted as seemed to be necessary, but not a great number. I append a list of them.
The making of this volume has given me benefit as well as pleasure, and I hope that others may receive similar benefit and pleas ure from its perusal. A. A. M.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of the Prayer Book from the beginning of liturgical worship to 1892. It begins with the Jewish synagogue and temple worship, then traces the evolution of Christian worship from its earliest forms to the development of various liturgies throughout Europe. The author discusses the process of translating parts of the liturgy into vernacular languages and examines the challenges of teaching the people the meaning of the services. This book argues that the First Prayer Book of King Edward VI was a much-needed revision of the Latin service books that had been used in England for centuries. While it was generally accepted and used, this book highlights that the book gave complete satisfaction to nobody. It concludes by emphasizing the significance of the Prayer Book's role in the history of Christian worship and the development of the English language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
