So many Christians pray the Lord's Prayer. It is almost "second nature." This book is meant to help these people pray it more deeply and lovingly. Ecumenical and even striving to be global in nature, this book explores what the Scriptures teach us about this prayer, how the Christian tradition has approached this prayer in its long history, and how many of our contemporary concerns challenge the way we can pray this prayer, and also how the prayer can provide insights for those same concerns. People of all persuasions, believers and nonbelievers, "nones," and followers of the world's great religions will also find many of their concerns given serious consideration in this book. If you think nothing new can be said about the "Our Father," this book may surprise you.
