Prescribed Forms Of Prayer In The Public Worship Of God: Indispensable, Scriptural, And Catholic (1853)

By George Ridley Carr

Book Overview

Prescribed Forms of Prayer in the Public Worship of God: Indispensable, Scriptural, and Catholic is a book written by George Ridley Carr in 1853. The book is a comprehensive guide to the use of prescribed forms of prayer in public worship, and argues that such forms are not only essential, but also scriptural and consistent with Catholic tradition. Carr begins by examining the history of prescribed forms of prayer, tracing their origins back to ancient Jewish and Christian worship. He then goes on to argue that the use of such forms is not only consistent with the teachings of the Bible, but also necessary for maintaining the unity and consistency of public worship. Throughout the book, Carr provides numerous examples of prescribed forms of prayer from various Christian traditions, including the Anglican Book of Common Prayer and the Roman Catholic Missal. He also offers practical advice on how to incorporate these forms into public worship, and how to adapt them to suit the needs of individual congregations. Overall, Prescribed Forms of Prayer in the Public Worship of God is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of public worship, and provides a compelling argument for the use of prescribed forms of prayer in Christian worship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
