When first published at the end of the nineteenth century, The Parson's Handbook went on to go through twelve editions, the final of which was published in 1932, four years before the death of its author, Percy Dearmer. In 1965, a thirteenth edition was published by Dearmer's student Cyril Pocknee. Now, nearly a hundred years after the publication of Dearmer's twelfth edition, Jared Cramer provides a new version of this work that will bring the insights of Dearmer's distinctively Anglican approach to worship to bear on the ministry of clergy and lay leaders in the twenty-first century. Entirely revised and rewritten with attention to the principals of modern liturgical theology and history, along with the ecumenical and multicultural context of today's Christian worship, this book demonstrates that the principles at the core of Dearmer's approach still can be of tremendous value to anyone who seeks to provide beautiful, dignified, and collaborative worship in the Anglican prayer book tradition.

The Parson's Handbook, first published in 1899, is Dearmer's brotherly advice to fellow churchmen about the correct way to conduct proper and fitting English worship, concerned with general principles of ritual and ceremonial, but the emphasis is squarely on the side of art and beauty in worship. He was the author of books and pamphlets on church art and history and editor of the hymnbook Songs of Praise in 1931. The Parson's Handbook ran into many editions, and he devised The English Hymnal to which composers Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst contributed. In The Parson's Handbook, Dearmer states in the introduction that his goal is to help in "remedying the lamentable confusion, lawlessness, and vulgarity which are conspicuous in the Church at this time." What follows is an exhaustive delineation, sparing no detail, of the young priest's ideas on how liturgy can be conducted in a proper Catholic and English manner.
