5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic. . .,
By A Customer
This review is from: Book of Common Prayer, Standard Edition Prayer Book, Black Calfskin Leather (Leather Bound)
The 1662 Book of Common Prayer has to be the most beautiful of any of the Prayer books. The language is wonderful. I highly recommend this version for personal gratification. Would that it could be used in the Episcopal Church. Cambridge is, in my opinion, the best Bible publisher around and their workmanship makes this a gem as well. Thankfully the ECUSA has loosened its grip and allowed the use of the 1928 prayerbook for special occasions. I suppose thats the most we can hope for.

Poetry of the 17th Century,
By DiggerSigmaChi (Commerce, TX USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Book of Common Prayer, Standard Edition Prayer Book, Black Calfskin Leather (Leather Bound)
There is confusion about this book. It is not large print, but it is a calfskin leather in a beautiful hardback box. The poetry of old England is quite refreshing. I like to read it aloud so I can "hear" the words. Amazon has not characterized this as a non-American Book of Common Prayer. It is the BCP of the Church of England. I recommend it 5 stars. Also check out The Divine Conspracy. It is non-denominational so far as I have read, and puts this world and the world that Jesus lived into one. I'll likely give it a 5 star rating also from what I've read so far.

1662 BCP is not a reprint of first edition,
By NY Hobbit (OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Book of Common Prayer, Standard Edition Prayer Book, Black Calfskin Leather (Leather Bound)
This is a great edition of the current UK BCP 1662. Some reviews misunderstand the 1662 part and think it is a reprint of the first edition. That is not the case. The 1662 book is still in current use and the prayers for the royal family are updated to stay current. There are other changes such as the lectionary for daily prayer dates from the 1800s, with an early 1900s optional lectionary. Some royal services were also dropped.
The current Everyman edition has some of the things removed from the book in the 1800s. However even that edition is not a reprint of the 1662 first edition. This classic prayerbook is wonderfully printed. I recommend it. If you want the details of the differences from 1662 to the present, do a web search there are detailed listings of the changes on the web. This is the printed version to use. It is my daily prayerbook. If I were going to be lost on an island with only one book, this is the book I would have!

An essential for all Episcopalians,
This review is from: Book of Common Prayer, Standard Edition Prayer Book, Black Calfskin Leather (Leather Bound)
If you haven't read it, you haven't been to church since 1978. If you are an Episcopalian, you should have one in your home. It is something that you should read everyday.
