Occasions of Grace: An Historical and Theological Study of the Pastoral Offices and Episcopal Services in the BCP

This latest offering of Byron Stuhlman is the third in his trilogy on the Prayer Book. It is also the conclusion of his study of the liturgy of the church begun in his previous book, Redeeming the Time.

This book deals with the pastoral offices and episcopal services in the Book of Common Prayer using the method known as comparative liturgy. Stuhlman’s purpose is to explore at a deeper level the theological connections between these services and the faith which they articulate, rendering them effective in shaping lives according to the gospel.
