Publisher's Synopsis
The Service Book for the Use of the Church of the Disciple is a religious text compiled by James Freeman Clarke in 1844. The book is primarily based on the Old and New Testaments of the Bible and is intended for use by members of the Church of the Disciple. The text includes various prayers, hymns, and readings that are meant to be used during church services and other religious ceremonies. Clarke, who was a prominent Unitarian minister, sought to create a service book that reflected the beliefs and values of the Church of the Disciple, which emphasized the importance of reason and individual conscience in religious practice. The book is notable for its inclusion of hymns and prayers written by women, which was a relatively uncommon practice at the time. Overall, the Service Book for the Use of the Church of the Disciple is a significant work in the history of American religious literature and provides insight into the beliefs and practices of the Church of the Disciple in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
