As promised<\/a> several weeks ago, here’s the first of my Ph.D. comprehensive examination topics and related bibliography.<\/p>\n

TOPIC 1<\/strong> (Initiation, Reformation):
\nDevelopment of the Confirmation Rite between the 1549 and 1662 Books of Common Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between publication of the first English Book of Common Prayer in 1549 and its terminal, \u201cas by law established\u201d edition in 1662 (upon which all other provincial Books of Common Prayer in some degree depend), the Anglican Rite of Confirmation rite underwent a number of adjustments in response to changing views of the sacrament, criticism by Continental reformers and changing pastoral exigencies. This topic will explore differences in the various rites (1549, 1552, 1559, 1662) within the broader context of the sixteenth-century Reformation initiation practice, attending especially to the first two Prayer Books — between which are the most numerous and most obvious differences — and focusing on the motivating factors for the development of the Anglican Confirmation rite.
