The Prayer Jesus Taught Us

The Our Father was taught by Christ to his Apostles and took shape in the experience of the early Church, and it has been seen as the synthesis of the whole gospel. The Prayer Jesus Taught Us identifies the theological-biblical structure underlying the Lord's Prayer and situates it in the living environment of the early Church. This book examines the antecedents in Mark, the systematic presentation of Matthew, Paul's push forward, the accentuation of Luke, and the mature synthesis found in John.

In preparation for the Ordinary Jubilee of 2025, the Exploring Prayer series delves into various dimensions of prayer in the Christian life. These brief, accessible books can help you learn to dialogue with God and rediscover the beauty of trusting in the Lord with humility and joy.
