Book Overview

The Church A Family: Twelve Sermons On The Occasional Services Of The Prayer Book (1850) is a collection of sermons written by Frederick Denison Maurice. The book explores the concept of the church as a family and discusses the various occasional services that are part of the Anglican Prayer Book. The sermons cover topics such as baptism, confirmation, marriage, and burial, and offer insights into the meaning and significance of these services. Maurice argues that the church is a community of believers who are bound together by their faith and their shared experiences of these services. He also emphasizes the importance of tradition and ritual in the Anglican Church, and explores the ways in which these practices help to shape and define the church as a family. Overall, The Church A Family offers a thoughtful and engaging exploration of the role of the church in the lives of its members, and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Anglican Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
