What began as a single Book of Common Prayer in 16th-century England has developed into a family of prayer books authorized by member churches of the global Anglican Communion. 'The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Common Prayer' offers a holistic view of the prayer-book tradition in Anglicanism and explores new directions emerging in the Communion. Written by 46 diverse Anglican scholars from throughout the world, it analyzes historic and more recent editions bearing that title in churches throughout the Anglican Communion, as well as modern books that fulfill the same function, to aid understanding and practices of worship in Anglicanism UR - https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780197673089.001.0001 ER -
