The New American Prayer Book is an insightful exploration and historical account of the 1928 revision of the Book of Common Prayer within the Protestant Episcopal Church. Written by E. Clowes Chorley, a prominent historiographer of the church, this work elucidates the liturgical changes and theological nuances introduced in the early 20th century.

The text provides a detailed examination of the modifications made to the services, including the Holy Communion, Baptism, and the Daily Offices, situating these updates within the broader context of Anglican tradition and American religious life. Chorley offers clarity on the motivations behind the revision process, aiming to foster a deeper understanding of the prayer book's role in the spiritual lives of the faithful. This volume remains an important resource for those interested in the evolution of Christian liturgy, the history of the Episcopal Church, and the enduring beauty of common prayer. By focusing on the structural and devotional aspects of the work, The New American Prayer Book highlights the balance between tradition and reform in the American liturgical experience.
