The Second Prayer Book of Edward VI Issued 1552

By James Parker

Book Overview

The Second Prayer Book of Edward VI Issued 1552 is a historical text that presents the liturgy and religious practices of the Church of England during the reign of King Edward VI. This book was published anonymously in 1552 and was a revision of the first Prayer Book of 1549. The Second Prayer Book of Edward VI was a significant development in the English Reformation, as it represented a shift towards Protestantism and away from Catholicism. It introduced new prayers and modified existing ones, including the Eucharistic prayer, which was simplified and removed the mention of transubstantiation. The book also included the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, which outlined the doctrinal beliefs of the Church of England. The Second Prayer Book of Edward VI was controversial at the time of its publication, and its impact on English religious life and history continues to be studied and debated today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
