Book of Common Prayer

Originally published by the Prayer Book Society, this attractively illustrated volume brings together the collects of the Book of Common Prayer.

Designed to help individuals, families, and congregations pray, sing and act together across traditions and denominations, authors Shane Claiborne, Enuma Okoro, and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove offer the Common Prayer Pocket Edition to help you and your community join together each day with the same songs, scriptures, and prayers.

This major, revisionist study upends our thinking about the ancestry and origins of the Elizabethan Book of Common Prayer, revealing it to have necessitated unprecedented levels of shared printing. In its close analysis of Anglican liturgy it will have considerable appeal to bibliographers and historians of Reformation and Tudor England.
