Synopsis

Harry Emerson Fosdick was one of the most popular liberal preachers of the early 20th century, and his The Meaning of Prayer is considered by many one of the finest studies of the meditative communion with God. This lovely little book features daily devotional readings focused on understanding prayer, reflecting upon: . The Naturalness of Prayer . Prayer and the Goodness of God . Hindrances and Difficulties . Unanswered Prayer . Prayer as Dominant Desire . Unselfishness in Prayer ..and other issues arising from conversing with the divine. This warm, friendly guidebook to a profoundly personal act remains an important exploration of one of the world's dominant faiths... just as it was when it was first published in 1915. American theologian HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK (1878-1969) was born in New York, educated at Colgate and Columbia Universities, and served as professor of practical theology at Union Theological Seminary from 1915 to 1946. Among his many works are A Guide to Understanding the Bible (1938) and A Book of Public Prayers (1960).

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Harry Emerson Fosdick was born in Buffalo, New York. He graduated from Colgate University and Union Theological Seminary. Fosdick was ordained a Baptist minister at the Madison Avenue Baptist Church at Thirty-First Street. Although a Baptist, he was guest preacher at First Presbyterian Church on West Twelfth Street and then at the historic Riverside Church in New York City. Fosdick's sermons won him wide recognition, as did his radio addresses, which were nationally broadcast. He authored numerous books, and many of his sermon collections are still in print. He is also the author of the hymn "God of Grace and God of Glory" and the book A Guide to Understanding the Bible, which traces the beliefs of the people who wrote the Bible, from the ancient beliefs of the Hebrews to the faith and hopes of the New Testament writers.
