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 The Reformed Book of Common Prayer

    Book Details:
  • Author : Donald Veitch
  • Publisher : Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
  • Release : 2018-02-17
  • ISBN : 9781985665002
  • Pages : 542 pages

Download or read book The Reformed Book of Common Prayer written by Donald Veitch and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-17 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was designed for Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, the Litany and Ante-Communion, using the 1662 BCP as the structure. However, we added the Westminster Standards and Three Forms of Unity. It's a "Reformed Book of Common Prayer." It was designed for those with Reformed backgrounds who get no Reformed Theology in Anglican and Episcopal contexts, schools or pulpits. The old Anglicans had Reformed Churchmen, but those days are gone. Expect little-to-no Reformed Theology in Anglican/Episcopal contexts. This was designed for private use. It does not have the other offices. For those with Reformed catechesis in their backgrounds, you will understand this. For the Reformed, we are still liturgical and Prayer Bookish. Neither affinity group may like the amendments, yet both may understand this hybrid, driven of necessity and desire. Yet, both old school Anglicans, old school Presbyterians and old school Reformed Churchmen will recognize these things. Of course, the Anabaptacostalist traditions will not understand any of this. They would rather clap, enthuse, "get all excited" and do free-for-alls. Clap-trap. However, this new RBCP is "regulated" and disciplined by the Bible. It may be the first of its kind--both Reformed and Anglican.
