Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible Prayer-Book Word of God is, in petitions adapted to all the various circum stances of human life. Prayer is one of the richest channels of appointed blessings to man; and long as they live, should Christians cherish the spirit of prayer. Every attempt to facilitate the faithful and profitable discharge of this duty, therefore deserves encouragement. And though fully persuaded of the inutility Of the constant and exclusive use of forms of prayer, especially in public worship; i have no doubt, that the perusal of prayers in private, and their occasional use in social worship, especially in the devotion of the family, may be attended by a happy influence. Without supposing that your selections may not in Some instances admit of improvement, I regard them excellent as a whole, and cordially commend the work' to the favour of the friends of Zion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prayer-Book: Its History, Language and Contents There is no book, with the exception of the Bible itself, to which English Churchmen are so warmly attached as the Book of Common Prayer, and yet it is to be feared that even among educated Churchmen there is much ignorance of its history, its teaching, its language, and the principles of its construction. This is, surely, a matter for grave consideration. Bearing in mind the large use we make of the prayer-book (a larger use than is made of any corresponding book in any other Church), it. Must be highly important that every member of the Church should, as far as possible, be' in possession of such knowledge as would enable him to fairly comprehend its scope, meaning, and authority.

Download or read book The Prayers of the Bible Classic Reprint written by John Edgar McFadyen M. A. and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prayers of the Bible The Bible is richer in prayers than is commonly sup posed, and it may be doubted whether they have gener ally received' the attention which they deserve. Their interest is two-fold, scientific and practical. On the one hand, the prayers throw light upon the religion and, on the other, as the religion of the Bible is the source and inspiration of our own, we have much to learn from its prayers. Both these interests are safe guarded in this volume. It is an attempt to under stand Biblical prayer by an examination of the prayers and allusions to prayer, and it seeks to gather up the results of this examination and to apply them to the public and private devotions of to-day. In order to facilitate the study of the prayers, I have collected and arranged them topically, and in the Old Testament chronologically as well, so far as that was possible, the first period including the prayers to the exile, the second those between the exile and the New Testament. It thus becomes as easy as it is interest ing to trace the development of prayer in the Bible. Following this collection is a selection of Biblical prayers suitable for modern use. The collection is, I believe, practically complete, except that I have purposely excluded from it the prayers of the Psalter. To have included them would have been to transcribe most of the Psalter but in the selection for modern use, I have drawn from it such prayers as are of permanent interest and value.

Download or read book Book of Prayer written by R. Crompton Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book of Prayer: In Thirty Orders of Worship With Additional Prayers and Thanksgivings for Public or Private Devotion IN every form of Public Worship, there will always be some portions which owe not a little of their meaning and value to the fact that they have become very familiar to the minds of the worshippers. In the absence of any Book of Prayer this element is, to some extent, supplied in the well - known Hymns, in the more purely devotional Lessons from Scripture, and in the Lord's Prayer, and the Benediction; and where a Liturgy is used, the familiar and oft-repeated words of prayer and thanksgiving become enriched with something more than their own natural beauty and significance, as they gather round them a treasure of sacred thoughts and memories, and the solemn impressions of worship. Few can be insensible to the influences of such associations; and it may also be felt thata Liturgy in which the Congregation have a distinct part and voice, will help to confirm and deepen the feeling of common prayer, and to bring the minds of fellow-worshippers into more close and conscious union.

Download or read book The History of the Book of Common Prayer Classic Reprint written by J. H. Maude and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Book of Common Prayer The Book of Common Haven - To English churchmen of the present day it appears a most natural arrangement that all the public services of the Church should be included in a single book. The addition of a Bible sup lies them with everything that forms part of the ant orised worship, and the only unauthorised supple ment in general use, a hymn book, is often bound up with the other two within the compass of a tiny volume. It was, however, only the invention of printing that rendered such compression possible, and this is the only branch of the Church that has effected it. In the Churches of the West during the Middle Ages, a great number of separate books were in use; but before the first English Prayer Book was put out in 1549, a process of combination had reduced the most necessary books to five, viz. The Missal (properly Missale Plenarium), which contained all that was necessary for the Mass; the Breviary, which contained the daily ofiices now compressed into the English Matins and Evensong; the Manual, a collection of occasional offices for the use of a parish priest; the Pontifical, which contained those services in which a bishop had to ofiiciate; and the Processional, con taining the Litanies.

Download or read book The Book of Common Prayer written by Alan Jacobs and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While many of us are familiar with such famous words as, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here." or "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," we may not know that they originated with The Book of Common Prayer, which first appeared in 1549. Like the words of the King James Bible and Shakespeare, the language of this prayer book has saturated English culture and letters. Here Alan Jacobs tells its story. Jacobs shows how The Book of Common Prayer--from its beginnings as a means of social and political control in the England of Henry VIII to its worldwide presence today--became a venerable work whose cadences express the heart of religious life for many.The book's chief maker, Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, created it as the authoritative manual of Christian worship throughout England. But as Jacobs recounts, the book has had a variable and dramatic career in the complicated history of English church politics, and has been the focus of celebrations, protests, and even jail terms. As time passed, new forms of the book were made to suit the many English-speaking nations: first in Scotland, then in the new United States, and eventually wherever the British Empire extended its arm. Over time, Cranmer's book was adapted for different preferences and purposes. Jacobs vividly demonstrates how one book became many--and how it has shaped the devotional lives of men and women across the globe"--.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prayer and Praise Book for the Services of the Sunday-School and Children's Church Two full and comparatively long services are given for the Mo and Afternoon sessions of the Sunday-school. Each of these 561 may be divided into three, the division being plainly indicated by rm and easily followed by the Leader, - with no break perceptible, or in tion necessary, to the scholar. This afl'ords those who do not pref: richer services an opportunity of using many shorter ones, wit] advantage of variety and of adaptation to special occasions. All pr: except those of the closing services, are in the form of a Litany, or said aloud with the Leader. Pastors and Superintendents shoul that these prayers and responses are committed and said by their ars. By also chanting the Psalter responsively, increased life and in will be given the services. In each part of the Prayer Book, the design has been not only it sent a suitable vehicle for children's devotions, but by such means to train them in the services of the Church, and make them fa] with its Liturgy. In selecting the hymns of the Praise Book, can been taken to choose those most valuable for their gospel teachin literary excellence; but sometimes the latter quality has been mc less sacrificed to the former when both could not be obtained in adapted to an inspiring piece of music. It is believed, however, th hymns of the Praise Book are not excelled for variety, excel beauty and impressive religious teaching by any like collection.
