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. Comfortable Words includes new and original scholarship here about the use of the Book of Common Prayer at different periods during its life. It also sets out some key material on the background to the production of both the Tudor books and the seventeenth-century book itself. The book is aimed at scholars, students in theological colleges, courses and universities, but there is sufficient accessibility of style for it to be accessible to others who are interested in the Prayer Book more widely in the church and to intelligent lay people. The book is unique in the way that it studies the Prayer Book and looks at the impact of it, both on the Church and on English society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Platten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SCM Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780334046707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlatten, Stephen:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Stephen Platten is Bishop of Wakefield and Chair of the Church of England Liturgical Commission.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWoods, Christopher:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Christopher Woods is Secretary of the Church of England Liturgical Commission and National Worship Development Officer of the Archbishops' Council.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SCM Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44697621069939,"sku":"9780334046707","price":76.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_685e0eb7-2377-4c28-9c17-8ef86f99557b.jpg?v=1775243742","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/comfortable-words-polity-piety-and-the-book-of-common-prayer-9780334046707","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
