Beschreibung

Hardcover. When first published at the end of the nineteenth century, The Parson's Handbook went on to go through twelve editions, the final of which was published in 1932, four years before the death of its author, Percy Dearmer. In 1965, a thirteenth edition was published by Dearmer's student Cyril Pocknee. Now, nearly a hundred years after the publication of Dearmer's twelfth edition, Jared Cramer provides a new version of this work that will bring the insights of Dearmer's distinctively Anglican approach to worship to bear on the ministry of clergy and lay leaders in the twenty-first century. Entirely revised and rewritten with attention to the principals of modern liturgical theology and history, along with the ecumenical and multicultural context of today's Christian worship, this book demonstrates that the principles at the core of Dearmer's approach still can be of tremendous value to anyone who seeks to provide beautiful, dignified, and collaborative worship in the Anglican prayer book tradition. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

When first published at the end of the nineteenth century, The Parson’s Handbook went on to go through twelve editions, the final of which was published in 1932, four years before the death of its author, Percy Dearmer. In 1965, a thirteenth edition was published by Dearmer’s student Cyril Pocknee. Now, nearly a hundred years after the publication of Dearmer’s twelfth edition, Jared Cramer provides a new version of this work that will bring the insights of Dearmer’s distinctively Anglican approach to worship to bear on the ministry of clergy and lay leaders in the twenty-first century. Entirely revised and rewritten with attention to the principals of modern liturgical theology and history, along with the ecumenical and multicultural context of today’s Christian worship, this book demonstrates that the principles at the core of Dearmer’s approach still can be of tremendous value to anyone who seeks to provide beautiful, dignified, and collaborative worship in the Anglican prayer book tradition.
