1928 BCP/KJV Bible
(Hardback binding)

$96.00

Black Cloth Hardback; lvii + 611 + 1778 pages
5 & 1/4 x 7 & 3/8 x 1 & 7/8 inches
First Printing by APA (2006)

This lovely book consists of two parts: the 1928 Book of Common Prayer and the Authorized version of the Bible.

The 1928 Book of Common Prayer is beloved by Anglican traditionalists throughout the United States. Unlike the 1979 book that was adopted by the Episcopal Church, the 1928 BCP stands in direct line of descent from Thomas Cranmer's 1549 Book of Common Prayer, and as such, its collects preserve the beauty of the Archbishop's original prose. The Epistles and Gospels are taken from the Authorized Version (otherwise known as the King James Bible) and the Psalter remains that which has been used by generations of Anglicans throughout the world, that of the Great Bible of 1539.

The Authorized, or King James Bible, is perhaps the most influential book ever published in the English speaking world. The beauty of its language has influenced countless writers and speakers, and its phrases ring in the cultural memory of English speaking Christendom. APA's version includes the Apocrypha, something of a rarity in modern publications.

The BCP/KJV comes bound in hardback binding (shown here) or black genuine leather. Each BCP/KJV comes bound with 6 colored ribbons for use as bookmarks. Pages for dedications, as well as for commemorations of family events, are included at the front.

UPDATES ON REPRINTINGS AND REPLENTISHING OF ANGLICAN PARISHES ASSOCIATION’S STOCK

The project of reprinting several titles is already underway, but we have no estimated date for availability. We are hoping to be fully restocked within 12 months. We have had a hiatus of several years in our printing projects because we used our printing budget to produce The Anglican Altar Missal, which was a tremendously expensive endeavor.

Now that we have begun to build up printing funds again, we are in the process of reprinting the red hardback "Pew Copies" of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. They are currently in the process of being bound. We expect to have them in hand very soon, though we still do not have an actual ETA.

We will then have reprinted:

*** The Traditional Saint Augustine Prayer Book

*** The People's Anglican Missal

*** The leather bound combination of The BCP/King James Bible

You may email your name, e-address and phone number, along with the title/s of the book you are interested in ordering to: apabooks@anglicancatholic.org.

Your name and contact information will go on the list of persons who want to be immediately notified when these books are available for order, so that you can pre-order a copy and secure your order ahead of the crowd.

Thank you.
