This latest offering of Byron Stuhlman is the third in his trilogy on
the Prayer Book. It is also the conclusion of his study of the liturgy
of the church begun in his previous book, Redeeming the Time.
This book deals with the pastoral offices and episcopal services in the
Book of Common Prayer using the method known as "comparative liturgy."
Stuhlman's purpose is to explore at a deeper level the theological
connections between these services and the faith which they articulate,
rendering them effective in shaping lives according to the gospel.
