Two books that have changed the world! The King James Version of the Bible has been the most widely known and quoted version of the Bible for more than three centuries. The Book of Common Prayer was written at the birth of the Anglican Church of England, and is presented here in its 1662 edition. The KJV Bible has travelled to every continent on the globe, and has had an incalculable influence on western culture and the English language. Similarly, the Book of Common Prayer has become known and loved wherever the Anglican Church has travelled, and has influenced much subsequent liturgy in the reformed traditions. This Heritage Set offers a rare chance to buy these two great English texts together. They are bound in blue soft French Morocco leather, with gilt page edges and ribbon markers, and come in a sturdy box. An excellent gift.
