Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical criticisms and modern-day debates surrounding the Prayer of Consecration used within the Anglican liturgy from the 16th century up to the present. The author begins with an exploration of the biblical origins and development of the first Eucharist. It then goes on to analyze the theological differences between the Eastern and Western traditions regarding Eucharistic Consecration, highlighting the omission of an invocation to the Holy Spirit in Western liturgy. The author provides a thorough examination of the changes made to the Consecration Prayer in the English Prayer Book during the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly the 1549 and 1552 revisions. These revisions shifted the focus away from the act of offering and resulted in a more exclusive emphasis on reception. The book also includes insights from significant theologians, including John Mason Neale, Gladstone, Andrewes, Forbes, and others, who have advocated for a more balanced approach to the Eucharist that encompasses both oblation and reception. This book provides valuable historical context and theological perspectives for those interested in the evolution of the Prayer of Consecration and its ongoing significance in Anglican worship.
