This edition of “The Book of Common Prayer” presents the text of the 1552 version set forth by the Act of Uniformity at the accession of Queen Elizabeth I in 1558, the so-called Second Prayer Book, which has remained in daily use in Anglican churches for over 430 years. In the language of Wycliffe, Tyndale, Coverdale and Cranmer, it contains the great familiar liturgies of Morning and Evening Prayer, the Collects, Epistles and Gospels, the order of service for Holy Communion, the Athanasian Creed, and the special prayers for baptism, confirmation, marriage, burial and all the other church services. This edition has been produced to the highest standards, with 150 medieval and renaissance illuminations incorporating gold.

Reviews:

  • Beautifully bound, this Book of Common Prayer has excellent quality through and through. Clear and crisp writing on high quality page paper, fantastic illustrations throughout. This publication really evokes the majesty of God’s word and encourages daily use. I would highly recommend it if you enjoy the book of common prayer, and especially if you want to introduce someone to the timeless wonder of the daily readings. 10/10

  • This is a lovely book and had most of the features we were looking for, however I should have looked more closely at the size. I had expected and wanted something more pocket sized, or normal book size, but this was more like A4 size. We sent it back and ordered something different. Also, the design on the front was lovely….I just wished it had been a smaller book with a hard cover.

  • Most beautiful little book with wonderful illustrations. This is a real little treasure to have in any book collection
