10:15 Be careful with the binding of the desk edition. The text block is only glued in NOT sewn. Mine has lasted for a couple of years of careful use before it began to come apart. I just glued it back to the boards and it is still a very useable volume. Having said that, the text side, clearness of type, and legibility are WONDERFUL!!!!! This is the version I use. It follows the other Cambridge editions exactly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR THOSE WHOSE EYES ARE NO LONGER YOUNG.
Unfortunately, Cambridge changed this title from the traditional sewn hardcover to a glued casebound print-on-demand format. This was likely because of rising prices and a low sales volume for this edition. If yours comes apart, having it rebound by a Bible bindery is an option, though it may be costly.
I have that little standard Cambridge book, but it's white. I got it at a cathedral bookshop in the UK, though, and I haven't come across white copies on any online stores.
I just ordered a print on demand copy of an 1857 volume entitled THE WHOLE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER which gives literally thousands of Scriptural references and parallels to everything in the 1662 BCP (including the Articles of Religion) except the prefaces, Act of Uniformity, and the tables. (The opening sentences of Mattins alone have over 80 references.) A .pdf of the book is found on the Internet Archive website. I can,t give you the URL because UA-cam now automatically deletes comments with website URLs. *HOW STUPID!!!!!) Search it's title "The whole book of common prayer : according to the use of the united church of England and Ireland" and 1857. If you are interested, when the print volume arrives, I'll let you know about the quality of reproduction, binding, etc.
8:49 You can't pray either lectionary in the Prayer Book for they both contain readings from the Apocrypha. Obviously, whoever made this decision at Cambridge either isn't Anglican or doesn't use his/her prayer book!
Precisely what I was thinking as I found out that the BCP contains Apocrypha readings. It's interesting that they don't even include them in a separate section.
I saw a 1662 BCP online that was being marketed as an international edition how is this different from the one used in England? Do they just remove all references to the monarchy? Also the fact that the King James Bible combination does not contain the Apocrypha I guess that means that there's some readings that you would have to use a different Bible for? As there are some days where the 1662 calls for books such as Wisdom or Tobit. I would have thought it would be an all-in-one system to try to consolidate everything into one book.
Sorry for the belated reply. You're referring to the "1662 BCP International Edition" published by IVP. This edition was released after this video was recorded. You can learn more about it here: www.ivpress.com/pages/content/book-of-common-prayer-international-edition-free-resources-faq We'll make a video about this edition soon. Yes, there are readings from the Apocrypha in the 1662 lectionary. The decision of the publishers to omit the Apocrypha from the combined 1662/KJV seems odd.
This was a most helpful video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. PLEASE post more videos like this!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
This is an excellent overview, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

@@confessinganglicans Thank you for the idea! I hadn't thought of that!! PLEASE CONTINUE MAKING VIDEOS!

That is probably the "gift edition", which is essentially the same as the other "standard edition" copies.

Joseph, this sounds similar to "The Liturgy Compared with the Bible." archive.org/details/dli.ministry.16457/page/n5/mode/2up
@@confessinganglicans It is. I've never heard of the title you mentioned. They certainly should complement each other!
Does the standard edition have collects and morning and evening prayers and daily office?
What do you mean by standard edition?

I see you have many theology books behind you. Can you do a tour of your library?
It would be quite boring, I'm sure. 😉
