The history and liturgies of The Book of Common Prayer are introduced to us in this book which helps us understand why the prayer book is such an important aspect of Anglican identity and life. The author begins with the fundamental questions of what common prayer is and how prayer book worship shapes who we are as a church. He then turns to the development of liturgical patterns from the time of Jesus through the Reformation to modern revisions of the prayer book. He examines in particular the liturgies of Holy Week and Easter, baptism, eucharist, and the daily office, with a view to understanding the way these services are rooted in the historical prayers of the church and at the same time reflect the living tradition of Christians today.
