Every Sunday, the Lord's Prayer echoes in every Church around the world.
It is an indispensable element of the faith. It is the way Jesus taught
his followers to pray, and encapsulates the essential beliefs and
attitudes to which all Christians aspire. Here, John Dominic Crossan,
one of the world's leading experts on Jesus and his times, explores this
foundational prayer line by line. This is quintessential Crossan,
providing just the right amount of historical detail and literary
insight to enhance our understanding, and drawing out the enduring
richness and relevance of Jesus' words for today.
