Synopsis

This volume explores the roots of Book of Common Prayer, an essential text used by the Church of England and the Anglican communion worldwide. Beginning with the public worship practiced by primitive Christian communities and tracing its evolution through ancient service books, the author leads us on a historical journey of liturgical development. We learn of medieval service books like the Missal, the Breviary, and the Manual, and how they influenced the Prayer Book's structure. This book analyzes foreign reformed service books, such as Hermann's Consultation and the Strasburg Liturgy, and their impact on the Prayer Book's content. The author presents a summary view of Prayer Book reform under Edward VI, highlighting the major milestones and influences that shaped its development. The book concludes with insights into the significance of the Prayer Book's historical evolution and its continued importance in the Anglican tradition.
