Overview

This lengthy liturgical history book begins its investigation well before the time of Wesley. Methodist liturgical beginnings take their root at the English Reformation in the early 1500s, and Richard Cooke demonstrates an exemplary knowledge of Reformation history and liturgical-ecclesiastical development in this history and commentary on the Ritual. Indispensable for any study of either the Book of Common Prayer or the Methodist Ritual, this work has been a go-to reference on the subject for nearly a century.
