Summary: No substitute for Cranmer
Review: occassion of his Baptism at age 81. It is the Book of Common prayer I grew up with in the Episcopal church, and the book of choice in the Anglican Catholic church I now attend. I was so thankful to find a copy for this wonderful occassion and know it was received with the same heartfelt thanks. "All things come of thee oh Lord; and of Thine own, have we given Thee" Nothing has been changed, altered, shortened; passages have not been made less difficult to understand. The beauty that is, and always shall be, is still contained in the "1928 Prayerbook.

Summary: Content fine
Review: The content of this book is fine. However, the binding is not of very good quality and I could find nothing on the book that said 'bonded leather." I personally do not believe it is bonded leather but instead is some kind of pressed paper. The print size is nice and the gilting on the pages very attractive.

Summary: Classical Anglican Spirituality in a Heirloom Treasure
Review: This beautifully crafted Book of Common Prayer testifies to its durability as a source of classical Anglican/Episcopal theology and worship and is yet another fine example of Oxford University Press'craftsmanship. This edition sustains OUP's tradition of excellence both in binding and quality printing..in short, this is a book one just likes to hold. The elegance of the Elizabethan prayers and other contents make this prayerbook a classic for all Christians seeking the beauty of Elizabethan English and its poetic cadences and for those who seek also a deeper appreciation of the richness of Anglican spirituality.This is the kind of volume you and yours can appreciate generation to generation...it is a lasting heirloom, literally and metaphorically... a treasure.
