The Prayer Book Through the Ages: A Revised Edition of The Story of the Real Prayer Book
- Used Book in Good Condition
An exploration of the history of the Book of Common Prayer and its revisions, beginning with the 1549 English Prayer Book and continuing up to the present. This revised and expanded version of The Story of the Real Prayer Book (this bookâ€™s original title) finishes the story of the final adoption of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Sydnor explores why each revision was necessary, what was changed, added, omitted, as well as what was retained in the â€œnewâ€ book.

By understanding the delicate balance between the need for change and the preservation of what is timeless, William Sydnor believes that Episcopalians will â€œfind anew that common ground of common prayer which is our legacy, our inspiration, and our joy.â€
