Publisher's Synopsis
The History of the Book of Common Prayer, written by J.H. Maude and published in 1900, is a comprehensive account of the development and evolution of the Book of Common Prayer in the Anglican Church. The book provides a detailed analysis of the various editions of the prayer book, their authors, and the historical context in which they were produced. Maude examines the theological and liturgical changes that occurred throughout the centuries, from the first edition in 1549 to the 1662 edition that remains in use today. The book also explores the controversies and debates that arose during the development of the prayer book, particularly in relation to the role of the Church of England and the monarchy. The History of the Book of Common Prayer is an essential resource for scholars and students of Anglican history, liturgy, and theology, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christianity in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
