Book Description
The Gospels give abundant evidence of the centrality of prayer in Jesus' own life, from his baptism to his crucifixion. Today, a new generation of disciples is learning, as did the disciples of old, the necessity and the power of prayer. We struggle with prayer, as did they. We, too, ask, "Lord, teach us to pray."Can the time-worn and perhaps overly-familiar words of the "Lord's Prayer" be more than a kind of spiritual pacifier for us today? Are there hidden in these simple words concepts that canstimulate and challenge us? Happily, the answer to both questions is yes, as the reader of this booklet by Brad Young will discover. We believe that what is printed here merits the attention of Bible scholars, of clergy, and of serious lay persons.It beautifully illustrates the premise on which the Center for Judaic-Christian Studies is founded: that studying the Hebrew heritage of our faith and the Jewish background to the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth can substantially enhance the quality of our spiritual lives as believers.
