Although published a century on, this is basically the work of Thomas Cranmer. A triumph of the English language, and deserves to be read even by those who don't believe, purely as a work of literature. When I was a child I wasn't allowed to read anything frivolous on Sundays, so I used to read my illustrated Bible and the prayer book - I particularly liked the tables for working out the date for Easter, and the bits about who you couldn't marry. Also the language is beautiful, shame they've replaced it with banal everyday version. This edition is a reprint of the 1662 version, with appendices taken from the 1549 copy, in order to proclaim the value of this work once more and to recognise it for what it is - a liturgical and literary masterpiece. What a loss to the Church and to culture that the Church of England overthrew centuries of tradition in favour of a less resonant and dumbed down liturgy in the 1970's.

This Prayer Book is bound in the finest calfskin leather, with gilt edges and ribbon marker and comes in an attractive slipcase that will protect it throughout its life.

The Book of Common Prayer of 1662 is the old and well-loved prayer book of the Church of England - and one of the classic English texts; its prayers and expressions have helped to mold the English language into what it is today. Such phrases as 'with this ring I thee wed' and 'in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life' have become familiar words with which we mark events in our lives. This Prayer Book provides the complete 1662 services - including the traditional forms of the baptism and marriage ceremoniesnies. It will make a perfect gift for those who want to mark a special occasion with this enduring text. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
