The Lord's Prayer unites Christians of all traditions. It is the
first and perhaps only prayer that people learn by heart. However,
its patriarchal and kingdom imagery do not resonate universally
today. How do we pray the prayer Jesus taught us in ways which are
authentic and life-giving? This volume, emerging from years of
praying the Lord's Prayer, offers a series of prayers and poems
written in response to it. They wrestle with its central images and
bring our own stories and relationships into dialogue with it. Each
prayer uses the address Abba or Amma: Aramaic terms of intimate
address to God as father or mother which reflect Jesus' usage,
drawing on the abbas and ammas of the Desert Tradition as well as
our own parental relationships. It aims to integrate our whole
human journey into the vocation of being a follower of Jesus. An
extended introduction explores why praying the Lord's Prayer is
significant, how it is problematic, and how contemporary
theological reinterpretations offer fresh perspective on it.
