Book of Common Prayer, Standard Edition, Red, CP220 Red Imitation leather Hardback 601B

by Baker Publishing Group (Compiler)

The Book of Common Prayer is the old and well-loved prayer book of the Anglican Church, in use since the 16th century. In this revised 1662 form, it has also become one of the classic texts of the English language, its prayers and expressions making English what it is today.

Cambridge's new editions of the Prayer Book have been freshly typeset for the 21st century, using a modern digital typeface to give a clear printing image and greater readability. Nevertheless, the format and page layout follow the previous version of the Standard Edition Prayer Book (originally produced in the early 20th century) page for page. The book provides the complete 1662 services - including the traditional forms of the baptism and marriage services.

This particular style comes in a red imitation leather hardcover binding, and is ideal for use in church.

Beautiful in language and meaning. A rich resource for Christians. I am not an Anglican but so much of the book resonated with me.
