Before his death in October of 1996, Huw Parri Owen, the
Oxford-trained Emeritus Professor of Christian Doctrine at King's
College, London, completed three books in addition to several he
had previously published. Two of those three have since been lost;
the third, The Basis of Christian Prayer, is now available
posthumously for the very first time. In this work, H.P. Owen is
concerned not only with the practice of prayer, but likewise with
its objective structure and content. Perhaps most significantly, he
deals at length with the theological and philosophical questions
that prayer raises. Proceeding from both biblical and philosophical
standpoints, and encompassing as many elements of prayer as
possible, Owen addresses the various forms of vocal prayer
(adoration, thanksgiving, confession, petition, and intercession),
the Lord's Prayer, meditation, contemplation, and mystical prayer.
Additionally, he covers such topics as prayer and belief, prayer
and religious experience, the language of prayer, and the place of
the emotions in prayer. Combining the analytic precision of a
trained philosopher with the insight and sensitivity of a seasoned
veteran in the Christian faith, The Basis of Christian Prayer is a
unique and invaluable resource for the reflective life.
