The Influence of the Book of Common Prayer on Christian Worship

This chapter delves into the significance and influence of the Book of Common Prayer on English speaking Christianity during the Reformation. It explores the beliefs and approach of the English Reformers, who sought to build on the traditions of the past while reforming the Catholic faith. The Archbishop of England, Thomas Cranmer, played a key role in rewording ancient prayers in the English Book of Common Prayer to reflect these beliefs.
