COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Next to the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, The Book of Common Prayer, in its various

revisions, is the most important liturgical and doctrinal text of the Anglican tradition. This course will

examine the place of the Prayer Book in the historical development of Christian worship within the

Anglican Church, both prior to and following 1549. The course will also study the liturgical and doctrinal

tradition of the Book of Common Prayer, together with its order and practical application in Divine

worship. Flowing from the development of the Prayer Book, will be the study of the Missals used in the

Anglo-Catholic tradition of eucharistic worship.

Classical philosophy, along with the language of the biblical texts themselves, has provided a framework and foundational language for the theological thought of the Church almost from the beginning. Accordingly, the understanding of theology is enhanced with a familiarity of philosophical thought and language.  T100 - Christian Philosophy provides this foundation by introducing important terms, concepts, and figures of classical philosophy and the relational framework to the Christian faith and message.
