This volume contributes to the growing interest in understanding
the phenomenon of prayer and praying in the Hebrew Bible, Early
Judaism, and nascent Christianity. Papers by the leading scholars
in these fields revisit long-standing questions and chart new paths
of inquiry into the nature, form, and practice of addressing the
divine in the ancient world. The essays in this volume deal with
particular texts of and about prayer, practices of prayer, as well
as figures and locations (historical and literary) that are
associated with prayer and praying. These studies apply a range of
methods and theoretical approaches to prayer and the language of
prayer in literatures of Early Judaism and Christianity. Some
studies apply the classical methods of biblical studies to Second
Temple texts of prayer, including form critical and text critical
approaches; others engage in literary and narrative analysis of
ancient works that recount discourse directed to the divine. Still
other studies draw on anthropological and sociological analyses of
prayer or marshal particular theories of discourse, ethics, and
moral agency to offer fresh interpretations of address to God in
the literature of Second Temple Judaism and earliest Christianity.
