The Lord and His Prayer
by N.T. Wright
In this book of pastoral reflections N.T. Wright explores how the Lord’s Prayer sums up what Jesus was all about in his first-century setting. Wright locates the Lord’s Prayer, clause by clause, within the historical life and work of Jesus and allows the prayer’s devotional application to grow out of its historical context. The result is a fresh understanding of Christian spirituality and the life of prayer. This deeply devotional book will refresh and stimulate the heart and mind of any reader.
