1979 Book of Common Prayer

Microsoft Reader E-book Edition

 

The text has been extensively cross-referenced with hyperlinks (click on any page reference to go to that page; click on any preface to go to that preface...), and color fonts used in the headings and comment passages to increase readability. 

 

This revised edition of the Microsoft Reader ".lit" e-book of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer is dated 2/27/05.

 

Further information and a tour of the e-book can be found on the 1979 Book of Common Prayer page of this website.

 

The ebook is provided in three alternative forms for downloading:

1. as the actual Microsoft Reader .LIT file.

2. as a .ZIP file. This is a compressed version of the file. After downloading, you must use a program on your computer (such as WinZip, PKZIP, Stuffit) to extract the actual Microsoft Reader .LIT file.

3. as a self-extracting .exe file. Double-clicking on the .exe file in Windows will extract the actual Microsoft Reader .LIT file to a default folder named "BCP_LIT."

 

Note that some Netscape browsers may corrupt a Microsoft Reader .LIT file when downloading it (for further information on this problem, see Chris De Herrera's website on Windows CE and the Pocket PC). If you are using a Netscape browser to download, we recommend you download the file as a .zip file or as a self-extracting .zip file.

 

To download the Microsoft Reader e-book edition of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, right click on the link to the desired form BCP.lit, BCP_LIT.zip or BCP_LIT.exe and choose "Save Target As" or "Save Link as."

1979 Book of Common Prayer

Internet Browser Edition

 

This Internet Browser edition ("HTML" edition) of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer consists of five files (About.htm, Bcp.htm, Contents.htm, Cover.jpg, and Index.htm), which must all lie in the same folder. The name of the folder does not matter. An internet browser capable of reading frame pages (such as Microsoft Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) is required.

 

The five files are provided for download as: 

1. a .ZIP file. You must then use a program on your computer (such as WinZip, PKZIP, or Stuffit) to extract the five files to a folder, or as:

2. a self-extracting .exe file (useful for a Windows Computer). Double-clicking on the .exe file in Windows will extract the five files to a default folder named "BCP_HTML."

 

To use this edition, simply open Index.htm with your internet browser (for example, by double-clicking on Index.htm in Windows). You may find it convenient to create a desktop shortcut to Index.htm.

 

Note that this Internet Browser version is intended for use off-line on a personal computer. Several on-line Internet Browser / HTML versions are available elsewhere -- please see the list at Charles Wohlers' Book of Common Prayer web site.

 

To download the .ZIP or self-extracting .exe file of this Internet Browser edition, right click on the underlined link and choose "Save Target As" or "Save Link as."  The latest revision is dated 2/27/05.
