Synopsis

This book traces the origins of the Book of Common Prayer, demonstrating how the author believes it to be a product of combining different sources to create a national use of worship in England. The author begins by discussing the origins of various services in primitive Christianity and how usage evolved over time, with different influences coming from Eastern and Western Christianity. The author then highlights how the Book of Common Prayer emerged under the direction of Thomas Cranmer during the English Reformation, when he drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including the Sarum Use, various foreign reformed prayer books, and early Christian texts. The end result was a service book that preserved the best and most useful elements of the past, removed what were deemed errors, combined it with elements from reformed European sources, and resulted in a simplification and purification of the liturgy. Overall, this book provides an accessible and detailed treatment of the historical, cultural, and liturgical context that gave rise to the Book of Common Prayer.
