This study explores the reception history of the Lord's Prayer in the Ghanaian context. After presenting the current state of research in the Lord's Prayer from an exegetical perspective, this book discusses a wide field of hermeneutical approaches, such as inculturation biblical hermeneutics, mother-tongue biblical hermeneutics, African feminist biblical hermeneutics, liberation biblical hermeneutics and post-colonial biblical hermeneutics. Taking the discussions of these approaches together, it was realised that the general hermeneutical setting in Ghana (and Africa as whole) is reader-centred, i.e. the readers play an active role in the hermeneutical process and the results of the hermeneutical process are aimed at the readers' contexts and the transformation of those contexts.

Jesus called the disciples to follow him in his ministry as God the Father called all the prophets to deliver his message to the people in the Old Testament: "As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me, Jesus said, and I will make you fishers of men" At once they left their nets and followed him." (Mark 1:16-17). The first calling of disciples is to follow Jesus and to know him personally as a result of this relationship; they then lead others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Christ is still calling people today to follow him; if he calls you please answer his call the reward is great; he is waiting for you and me to take the gospel of God to the end of the earth.

The Bible isn't meant to be left unquestioned; it's meant to be opened and read and questioned. And everyone has questions about the Bible--from the senior pastor of the big church down the road to the guest at the hotel off the interstate. Where did it come from? Who wrote it? Why are people so inspired by it (or fearful of it)? What does it have to do with my life? Hal Seed takes you on a tour into and behind the Bible, so that you get to know it and the God who makes himself known in it.
