Synopsis

With just seventy words in English and taking less than a minute to recite, the Lord's Prayer, nevetheless, is the most frequently recited prayer in Christianity. Taught by Jesus to his disciples, it provides a pattern for Christian prayer. Early in Christian history, the Didache instructed that the Prayer should be recited three times each day. Since then, the Lord's Prayer has been a standard component in Christian liturgy and devotion. But more than this, the Lord's Prayer draws together themes and motifs from throughout the Bible and especially from within Matthew's Gospel. In his exposition of the Prayer, Donald Burke shows how each petition draws upon the broad landscape of the entire canon of Scripture. In the process, the Lord's Prayer addresses and expresses our unique human composition as earthy creatures who nevertheless are drawn upward toward God. In effect, the Lord's Prayer draws together heaven and earth.
