'Most illustrious Prince, I have considered that the Supper of the
Lord (which has been violated by many and great superstitions, and
turned into gain) should be renovated and restored according to the
institutions of our Saviour Christ; and I have considered that all
should be performed according to the Divine Word and of the Ancient
and Holy Church, the care and instruction of which belong in some
part to my office'. (Thomas Cranmer, Dedication to King Edward VI,
A Defence of the True and Catholic Doctrine of the Sacrament.) In
this fascinating and practical study, Nigel Scotland looks closely
at the Service of Holy Communion in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer,
and with further illumination from earlier versions of the Prayer
Book and Cranmer's other writings, draws conclusions which may
refresh and challenge our contemporary practices. The aim of this
'Anglican Foundations' series which focuses on the Formularies of
the Church of England and the elements of the different services
within the Prayer Book is to highlight what those services teach
about the Christian faith and to demonstrate how they are also
designed to shape the practice of that faith. As well as providing
an account of the origins of the Prayer Book services, they offer
practical guidance on how such services may be used in Christian
ministry. Nigel Scotland has spent the greater part of his life
lecturing in Church History at what became the University of
Gloucestershire. He has served as rector of four country parishes
and led a Fresh Expressions church plant for 13 years. Since 2006
he has taught theology students at Trinity College Bristol. He is
married to Anne and in their leisure time they enjoy music, walking
in the Cotswolds, gardening, visits to the gym and enjoying times
with their grand-children. He studied at McGill and Bristol
Universities and earned a doctorate at Aberdeen University. He is
the author of eighteen books mostly in the area of Christian
history.
