While many of us are familiar with such famous words as, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here. . ." or "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," we may not know that they originated with The Book of Common Prayer, which first appeared in 1549. Like the words of the King James Bible and Shakespeare, the language of this prayer book has saturated English culture and letters.

A wonderful and insightful biography! It traces the messy story of the Book(s) of Common Prayer from Cranmer to the 21st century. For political or cultural reasons, the BCP might be a sweet aroma to some and foul odor to others. For spiritual and ecclesial reasons, one would be very hard pressed to find a better resource for personal devotion than a truth-shaped, time-tested, tradition-honoring BCP. Which version of the BCP? I use the 1928, but I really like the 2019 as well and the app that goes with it. The best one to use is the one you actually use. (Same advice I give about most Bible translations.)-- Rev. Marq Toombs, a Presbyterian pastor (PCA)
