About the book

The Book of Common Prayer is one of the foundational texts of Anglican worship and one of the most influential works of English religious prose. Its prayers, services and liturgical language shaped worship in the Church of England for centuries and had a profound effect on English literature and speech. The rhythms and phrasing of the book remain among the most recognisable examples of devotional English.
