The Book of Common Prayer is one of the most influential books in history. More listeners have heard these prayers, it is said, than the soliloquies of Shakespeare. Designed in the 1540s as a radical Protestant answer to Catholic "superstition", within a century (during the English Civil Wars) radical Christians regarded the Book of Common Prayer as itself "superstitious" and even(paradoxically) "Papist".
