Lord's Prayer, The : Matthew 6 and Luke 11 for the life of Church
Outline : The Touchstone Text series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible for the church. The series editor is Stephen B. Chapman. Since the beginning of Christianity, the Lord's Prayer has occupied an important place in the lives of Jesus's disciples, for it is the prayer Jesus himself taught them. This volume helps readers understand how this classic and beloved text can speak afresh to the life of the church today.
The church returns to the Lord's Prayer time and again. It is a source of personal devotion for millions and is important for Christian doctrine, revealing the Father and demonstrating how believers can relate to God. Like other biblical prayers, the Lord's Prayer contains words people offer to God. But since this prayer is from Jesus and is part of Scripture, it is also God's Word to people. When we say this prayer, not only are we speaking to God, but God is also speaking to us. In this book New Testament scholar William Wright integrates critical exegesis, theological exposition, and Christian spirituality to explicate the theological substance of the Lord's Prayer for the life of the church. His goal is to help readers come to know God and love God and others more deeply through a focused study of his important Christian prayer.
