Theology and Ecclesiology of the Prayer Book Crisis, 1906–1928

Dan D. Cruickshank is a researcher at the University of Glasgow, UK.

“Dan Cruickshank’s slim volume offers the reader an opportunity to engage with an episode of Anglican history that is often overlooked. The lengthy debates concerning the revision of the Book of Common Prayer found in the records of Convocation and the Church Assembly are, it is true, not for the fainthearted, and Cruickshank is to be congratulated for having waded through two decades’ worth of Anglican procedure to bring the story to life.” (Georgina Byrne, Modern Believing, Vol. 64 (4), 2023)“Cruickshank’s careful, thorough, and thoughtful study of a turning point in Anglican ecclesiastical history is full of insight. Anyone with an interest in the development of Anglican liturgy, ecclesiology, and its attendant issues should read it.” (John Reuben Davies, Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal, Vol. 6 (2), 2022)“This little book offers a detailed analysis … . . It is a good piece of work and offers a fresh look at the course of Prayer Book revision from 1906 to 1928 … . there is much that is helpful in this little book.” (Mark Chapman, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 72 (4), October, 2021)
