Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the genesis of the American Book of Common Prayer, which forms the basis for worship in the Protestant Episcopal Church. The author traces the prayer book's evolution from its roots in ancient liturgical practices, through the influence of the Sarum Breviary and Missal, to its eventual adaptation for use in the American context. By comparing the American prayer book with its predecessors, the author sheds light on the ways in which the Protestant Episcopal Church both preserved and departed from traditional Christian worship. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of liturgy, the development of Christianity in the United States, or the unique character of the Protestant Episcopal tradition.
