Comfortable Words: Polity and Piety and the Book of Common Prayer

2012 is the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, now widely used in the Church of England and throughout the Anglican Communion. Comfortable Words draws together some of the world’s leading liturgical scholars and historians who offer a comprehensive and accessible study of the prayer book and its impact on both church and society over the last three and a half centuries. The book is aimed at scholars and students in theological colleges, courses, and universities, but is accessible to anyone interested in the prayer book.
