Synopsis

In the book by St Theophan the Recluse, Interpretation of the Lord’s Prayer “Our Father” in the Words of the Holy Fathers, an extensive interpretation of the Lord’s Prayer is presented on the basis of the works of a number of outstanding Christian theologians: Tertullian, St Cyprian of Carthage, St Gregory of Nyssa, St Cyril of Jerusalem, St John Chrysostom, St John Cassian the Roman, Blessed Augustine, St Maximus the Confessor, Blessed Theophylact of Bulgaria, St Symeon of Thessalonica, and St Tikhon of Zadonsk.

Theophan the Recluse examines in sequence all the parts of the prayer, the invocation, the seven petitions, and the doxology, revealing their spiritual meaning through quotations and reflections of the Holy Fathers. The work addresses such themes as the meaning of calling God Father, the idea of Christian brotherhood and common prayer in the word “our”, the symbolic meaning of the phrase “Who is in heaven”, the connection of prayer with a virtuous life, the striving to glorify the name of God, likeness to God, and salvation.
