The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Common Prayer($182.63Value)

Description

The Anglican tradition centers on a Book of Common Prayer , originating in sixteenth-century England and carried throughout the world largely through colonial expansion. In the twentieth century, many churches of the worldwide Anglican Communion developed local versions of this Prayer Book. The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Common Prayer explores these worship books, with chapters that consider the historical development and the meaning and practice of particular services in different contexts, and related topics such as the use of language, worship space, and music.
