A Short History of the Book of Common Prayer

A Short History of the Book of Common Prayer is a religious studies classic by William Reed Huntington. Liturgical worship, understood in the largest sense the phrase can bear, means divine service rendered in accordance with an established form. Of late years there has been an attempt made among purists to confine the word "liturgy" to the office entitled in the Prayer Book, The Order for the Administration of the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion.
