How The Book of Common Prayer became one of the most influential
works in the English language While many of us are familiar with
such famous words as "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here. . ." or "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," we may not know that
they originated in The Book of Common Prayer, which first appeared
in 1549. Like the words of the King James Bible and Shakespeare,
the language of this prayer book has saturated English culture and
letters. Here Alan Jacobs tells its story. He shows how The Book of
Common Prayer-from its beginnings as a means of social and
political control in the England of Henry VIII to its worldwide
presence today-became a venerable work whose cadences express the
heart of religious life for millions.
