'In the midst of life we are in death.'. For nearly 500 years, and for countless people, it has provided a background fanfare for a marriage or a funeral march at a burial. Yet this familiarity also hides a violent and controversial history.

Scholarly and a bargain.
This is particularly interesting to students of the early modern period and to ministers who use the BCP in worship. It is remarkably good value, with three texts presented in full, edited and introduced by a leading scholar on the subject. Hardly worth looking for a second hand copy as it is so cheap new.

Essential reading for members of the Prayer Book Society.
A very comprehensive account of the development of the Prayer Book which puts a number of aspects into an understandable historical perspective. One example being the Churching of Women after childbirth, which was changed into a Thanksgiving for delivery in childbirth in 1552. Some people in 2018 still refer to it disparagingly, as a rite of cleansing after childbirth, which has not been the case for five hundred years.

Very high quality
It’s great to have all the different versions in one book. Great to read through and compare. Also good for people interested in religious history.
