Synopsis

Explore how St. Cyprian’s Lord’s Prayer interpretation illuminates early Christian faith under pressure, with clear historical and devotional guidance.

This edition presents an English translation of St. Cyprian’s reflections on the Lord’s Prayer, framed by an introduction that situates his thought in the context of a young African church, political trial, and public crises. It offers insight into Cyprian’s life, his leadership during persecution, and how his writings tie daily prayer to themes of forgiveness, peace, and spiritual resilience.

- See how his writings place personal conduct, unity, and charitable action at the heart of worship
- Understand the historical backdrop of Decian persecution, plagues, and church leadership in Africa
- Read a careful translation alongside notes about key ideas and scriptural references

Ideal for readers of early Christian writings, devotional study, and historical introductions to the Church Fathers.

Présentation de l'éditeur

More than a dozen times in his anti-Pelagian treatises does St. Augustine quote this small work of St. Cyprian, whom he calls "superlatively victorious," because he had anticipatorily refuted heresies as yet unborn.
