Bücher von Raymond Chapman

This is a new combined and enlarged edition of two favourite Canterbury Press backlist titles, Raymond Chapman's Stations of the Nativity and Stations of the Resurrection. This new edition now includes a new section based on the most widely observed Stations prayers of all - the Stations of the Cross. Not just for seasonal use, this volume offers timeless devotions on the three central themes of the Christian faith - the Incarnation, Passion and Resurrection. These themes inform Christian life and worship throughout the year. The many churches that observe weekly stations prayers will find this a rich resource for expanding their worship and it will make an ideal companion to Daily Prayer for many individuals.Illustrated throughout with woodcuts by Eric Gill and David Jones, this is a classic contemporary devotional guide.

A must for anyone leading intercessions in the Church of England. It provides prayers for every Sunday, Holy Day and Festival, Years A, B and C that can be easily adapted to local contexts. This expanded edition also contains forms of intercession for numerous extra occasions, including Principal Feasts and pastoral occasions.

Intercessory prayer is a key part of the liturgy of the Eucharist. This handbook includes: a theology of intercessory prayer; an explanation of its purpose within the liturgy; the difference between public and personal prayer; a guide to writing intercessory prayers; technical advice; common errors to avoid; and, ready to use intercessory prayers.

An attractive collection of newly-written prayers, graces, meditations and devotions, and some established favourites too, simply and effectively arranged to encourage good habits of daily prayer throughout the year.

For every Sunday and Holy Day, this resource includes: a meditative focus on the essential message of the Gospel reading; links to the Old Testament and Epistle readings; an extended exposition and reflection on the Gospel; an illustrative quotation drawn from literature; and a closing prayer.

The Oxford Movement sprang into life in the 1830s in reaction to the liberalisation of theology and in response to freedoms for Catholics in society. It was an opportunity for Anglicans to promote Catholic theology in the Church of England. Here the writings of the leading lights of the Oxford Movement are introduced with commentary.

This sequel to the best-selling Leading Intercessions offers a completely new set of intercessory prayers for Sundays and special occasions, following the pattern of the Revised Common Lectionary. Rather than draw on all the Bible passages for the day, this second collection draws entirely on the Gospel readings for the day's Principle Service.

An inspring companion for preachers, following the calendar of the Book of Common Prayer. For every BCP service focusing on the Gospel of the day, it offers a devotion, a commentary on the Gospel reading, an appropriate quotation, and a prayer in traditional language to harmonise with the KJV text used in the Prayer Book.

This text examines the forms of speech in Victorian fiction. Topics covered include standard and non-standard speech; dialect; class and occupational speech; and conventions of fiction.
