Beskrivning
C. Clifton Black provides a thorough analysis of the most famous prayer in the Christian church, the Lords Prayer. He begins with an impressionist painting of how the ancients prayed during Jesus time in order to set the context for understanding the prayer he taught his disciples. Throughout the book, Black systematically interprets the rich meanings of each part of the Lords prayer. Additionally, he includes an overview of Christian thought on the Lords Prayer from early church mothers and fathers like Tertullian and Teresa of Avila to modern theologians like Karl Barth. Uniquely, this book is an academic study of the Lords Prayer with a focus on the rhetorical culture from which it developed as well as the theological, literary, and historical meanings of the prayer itself.

Recensioner i media

"This book is an excellent resource for pastors and teachers in the church. It not only provides a thorough exegesis of the biblical text, it also provides readers with historical context, important issues in the history of interpretation, and connections between the words and themes of the Lord's Prayer and themes in the wider biblical text. In addition, the book provides readers with thoughtful articulation and compelling questions for reflection on the meaning of the text for pas- toral ministry. Most importantly, the book helps readers to allow the Lord’s Prayer to teach them the value of orienting their life toward God and to draw ever more deeply into prayer." - Journal of Moral Theology
