Approach To The Holy Altar

By Thomas Ken and Thomas 1637-1711 Ken

Book Overview

""Approach to the Holy Altar"" is a book written by Thomas Ken, an English bishop and hymn-writer, that provides guidance on how to approach and participate in the Holy Communion. The book is divided into three parts: preparation for the sacrament, the sacrament itself, and thanksgiving after the sacrament. Ken emphasizes the importance of self-examination, repentance, and faith in Christ's sacrifice as necessary prerequisites for receiving the sacrament. He also provides instructions on the proper posture, gestures, and responses during the service. The book is written in a devotional style, with prayers and meditations interspersed throughout. It is intended to be a practical guide for Anglican Christians seeking to deepen their understanding and experience of the Eucharist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
