Sure and Certain Hope: Death and Burial in the Book of Common Prayer

Description

Examining how a society views its dead is an important way of viewing how that society negotiates social and religious change and development. This work examines the impact of the Reformation on traditional medieval views of the dead and how the Book of Common Prayerencapsulates these developments, offering the Anglican Evangelical minster today a robustly biblical and Protestant platform for pastoral care and teaching.

Andrew Cinnamond is vicar of St Lawrence, Lechlade in the Cotswolds. He had previously worked for an investment bank in the City of London, before training for ordination at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford.
