The Books of the Homilies reprinted
The U.S. Prayer Book Society recently announced that it will soon make available a printing of The Homilies, the two volumes of sermons historically required for preaching in the Church of England. The two books are bound in this new single volume.
The two books are described in Article XXXV of The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion and they may be described as instruction from the English Church on basic Christianity, in faith, morals and worship. This volume has been edited to a very high standard by Ian Robinson, an accomplished Cambridge University scholar and the author of multiple books on English literature and criticism.
The book will be available in October at a cost of $50, which includes shipping. It may be ordered by contacting the Prayer Book Society, P. O. Box 35220, Philadlephia, PA 19128-0220. It will also be available at www.anglicanmarketplace.com beginning in October.
