Description
The Book of Common Prayer is a masterpiece of liturgical and literary style, produced in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Originally created to bolster the Tudor secession from Catholicism, it has had a profound influence on Anglophone culture, shaping the language and way of feeling of generations to come. This work, penned by Archbishop Cranmer and his allies, has been a cornerstone of Anglican worship for centuries. Its beauty and power of style have endured, influencing writers and artists long after its initial publication. Despite being under attack by modernizers and radicals within the church, the Prayer Book remains a vital part of our cultural heritage. Published in 1999, this new edition of the 1662 edition brings this important work to a new audience, offering a unique insight into the history and traditions of the Anglican Church.
