IVP Readers' Choice Award The Book of Common Prayer (1662) is one
of the most beloved liturgical texts in the Christian church, and
remains a definitive expression of Anglican identity today. It is
still widely used around the world, in public worship and private
devotion, and is revered for both its linguistic and theological
virtues. But the classic text of the 1662 prayer book presents
several difficulties for contemporary users, especially those
outside the Church of England. The 1662 Book of Common Prayer:
International Edition gently updates the text for contemporary use.
State prayers of England have been replaced with prayers that can
be used regardless of nation or polity. Obscure words and phrases
have been modestly revised--but always with a view towards
preserving the prayer book's own cadence. Finally, a selection of
treasured prayers from later Anglican tradition has been appended.
The 1662 prayer book remains a vital resource today, both in the
Anglican Communion and for Christians everywhere. Here it is
presented for continued use for today's Christians throughout the
world.
This casebook emphasizes the text, structure, and history of the
Constitution. It uses "great cases" for learning the major issues
in constitutional law, and it gives less attention to small ripples
of contemporary doctrine. It emphasizes the task of interpretation,
including many examples of the interpretation of the Constitution
by the political branches. And it includes features of our
constitutional history that are neglected in many casebooks, such
as slavery, the amendment process, and the early history of the
freedom of speech. The fourth edition has many refinements. It also
has new cases on (among other topics) the non-delegation doctrine,
legislative investigations, presidential removal, compelled speech,
and the free exercise of religion, and new old cases on Article III
and on the commerce power. There are also new executive and
legislative materials on various topics, including impeachment and
the drafting of the Bill of Rights.
This casebook explores the law of remedies, and several features
distinguish it from other leading casebooks. This book treats
equity as a vital part of modern law, and its coverage of
restitution is extensive and clearly organized. The book also
employs the pedagogically useful technique of illustrating many
remedial principles in both a tort context and a contract context.
In this edition, there is a more systematic presentation of equity,
and there are new chapters on accounting for profits, constructive
trust, equitable compensation, statutory damages, and declaratory
judgments. The book is named for three of the previous editors:
James Barr Ames, Zechariah Chafee, Jr., and Edward D. Re.

speech (e.g. NIFLA), free exercise (Carson), the Second Amendment
(Bruen), substantive due process (Dobbs), and Article V (Dillon),
as well as new executive materials on the Equal Rights Amendment.
There are also new assignments on free speech in schools and
universities and on freedom of the press and the internet. Like the
previous editions, this edition gives attention to features of our
constitutional history that are neglected in many casebooks, such
as slavery, the amendment process, and the early history of the
freedom of speech.
