An attractive reissue of the late Bishop George Appleton's celebrated selection of over 1, 100 prayers from many centuries and many traditions, including Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Iranian, Shinto, Classical Greek and Latin, native American, and Baha'i. The wide-rangingcontents ofThe Oxford Book of Prayer reflect the cooperation of the many advisers who have ensured that the choice of prayers is ecumenical in the widest sense of the word. The prayers are arranged under headings such as 'Prayers from the Scriptures', 'Prayers of Christians, personal and occasional', 'Prayers of the Church', and 'Prayers from other traditions of faith', but there is also a subject index to guide the user to prayers for particular occasions, and anindex of authors and sources. The book may thus be used for browsing or for more structured prayer, for private meditation or for public worship. | The Oxford Book of Prayer by George Appleton, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
