Use of the prayer in the early church -- Our -- Father -- Who art in heaven -- Hallowed be thy name -- Thy kingdom come -- Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven -- Give us this day our daily bread -- And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors -- Lead us not into temptation -- But deliver us from evil -- For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever -- Amen -- For reflection and discussion.
Summary: The Lord's Prayer is one of the oldest and most widely used short summaries not only of how Christians pray but of what they believe about God, the world, and humankind. Justo González, whose textbooks have taught Christian doctrine and history to thousands of pastors, draws on scripture, the Church Fathers, and his own life experience to make this vital prayer from the Christian past comprehensible for readers who want to understand--and live--Christianity in the present. Teach Us to Pray is for all who are learning or practicing Christian discipleship and ministry, from college students and motivated laypeople to veteran pastors and teachers.
