In addition to various prayers and devotions, it includes the order of Mass according to the Anglican Missal, with the Prayer Book Canon of the Mass. The 1947 original edition was republished in 1998 as Traditional St. Augustine's Prayer Book by Preservation Press of Swedesboro, NJ.
The book was certainly at St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury in the 10th century, when the first of several documents concerning the Abbey were copied into it. [7] In the late Middle Ages it was "kept not in the Library at Canterbury but actually lay on the altar; it belonged in other words, like a reliquary or the Cross, to Church ceremonial". [8]
The phrase is based on a sentence of Augustine of Hippo (crede ut intellegas, [4] lit. "believe so that you may understand") [5] [2] to relate faith and reason. Augustine understood the saying to mean that a person must believe in something in order to know anything about God. [6] This sentence by Augustine is also inspired from Isaiah 7:9. [7]
Augustine's body was originally buried in the portico of what is now St Augustine's, Canterbury, [36] but it was later exhumed and placed in a tomb within the abbey church, which became a place of pilgrimage and veneration. After the Norman Conquest the cult of St Augustine was actively promoted. [22]
The sentence represents the theological method stressed by Augustine (354–430) and Anselm of Canterbury (c. 1033 – 1109) in which one begins with faith in God and on the basis of that faith moves on to further understanding of Christian truth.
