The words of The Book of Common Prayer have worked their way deeply into the hearts and minds of English-speaking people, second only to the English Bible and the works of Shakespeare. This collection of essays seeks not only to explore and commemorate the Book of Common Prayer's influence in the past but also to commend it for present use, and as an indispensable part of the Church's future -- both as a working liturgy and as the definitive source of Anglican doctrine.

Prudence Dailey

Prudence Dailey is Chairman of the Prayer Book Society, a member of the General Synod of the Church of England and a graduate of Merton College, Oxford. She has loved The Book of Common Prayer since childhood.

Featured at number 2 in the Church Times' top ten religious books. This is a timely tribute to that 'via media' which is the Church of England and the Anglican Communion, and its Prayer Book. Do read it- it will send you to the [Book of Common Prayer] and fresh appreciation. http://www.thegoodbookstall.org.uk/review/9781441128188/edited-by-prudence-dailey/the-book-of-common-prayer-past-present-and-future-a-350th-anniversary-celebration/ -- The Good Bookstall In all, the volume provides a most accessible and well-written introduction to the Book of Common Prayer that is both interesting and spiritually invigorating. Several essays would provide an excellent addition to adult confirmation, inquirers, or formation classes. Others such as Ian Robinson's chapter, may interest only the most committed of Anglican liturgical aficionados. -- Jason Ballard, an aspiring priest in Austin, Texas, keeps a blog at atribecalledanglican.wordpress.com * The Living Church *
