Prayer Book Studies Volume Nine

Bol

A landmark series of studies devoted to the revision of the Book of Common Prayer — Volume Nine presents options for inclusive and expansive liturgical language for God. The creation of the landmark 1979 Book of Common Prayer was the fruit of nearly four decades of discussion within the Episcopal Church. Prayer Book Studies is a series of official reports by the Church’s Standing Liturgical Commission that were published over the course of that period, representing the work of the committees deliberating over and drafting the materials that would eventually become the 1979 revision. These reports provide an extraordinary window into the work of leading liturgical scholars during an age characterized by huge transformation in the fields of liturgy. Long out of print and unavailable, these reports, collected in nine volumes, are an invaluable resource for liturgical scholars and clergy. Volume 9 comes 10 years after the ratification of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. This study presents options for inclusive and expansive liturgical language for God and a framework for teaching about these liturgies and concepts to both children and adults.
