Rediscovering the Revolutionary Message of the Lord's Prayer

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Every Sunday, the Lord's Prayer echoes in every Christian Church around the world. An indisputable principle of Christian faith, it is the way Jesus taught his followers to pray, and encapsulates the most essential beliefs required of the world's 2.5 billion Christians. In The Greatest Prayer, our foremost Jesus scholar explores this foundational prayer line-by-line for the richest and fullest understanding yet of this prayer that every Christian knows by heart.

This is quintessential Crossan, conveying the message of Christianity's greatest prayer with just the right amount of history, scholarship, and detail. Addressing issues such as God's will for us, our responsibilities to each other and to the earth, and the moral responsibilities that come with money, Crossan reveals the enduring meaning and universal significance of the only prayer Jesus ever taught.
