Description

An historical survey of the role of the Lord's prayer throughout the history of the Church's thought and its worship. This study surveys the contributions of biblical scholars and theologians from the Early Fathers to the modern day, from Eastern and Western traditions and from Catholic and Reformed, Enlightenment and Modernist sources.

Kenneth Stevenson is the Bishop of Portsmouth and a member of the Liturgical Commission of the Church of England. His many books include "Do This: The Style, Shape and Meaning of the Eucharist" and "The Mystery of Baptism in the Anglican Tradition", both published by Canterbury Press.

Reviews
"this is an excellent resource on how the Lord's Prayer is used in Eastern and Western liturgies, and about English versions and paraphrases, both historical and contemporary." INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF BIBLICAL STUDIES. VOL 50:2003/2004. "This is a highly scholarly work (...) giving a comprehensive account of texts, views, opinions and uses of the Lord's Prayer from the very earliest days of the church to the end of the last Millenium. (...)for those who want to get to grips with the 'central prayer of the Christian faith' in terms of its origins, development, uses and message, this is now the book to turn to." John Darch, ANVIL volume 21 no.4 2004. "This is an outstanding book that draws on and distils a wide range of material that may benefit both those who pray and those who read." Andrew Gregory, Keble College, Oxford, THE EXPOSITORY TIMES. "I fully recommend this book to libraries, both public and personal, as an important part of their liturgical studies section. Its wide-ranging survey of the historical roots of the Lord'sPrayer and its ample notes and bibliography provide essential tools for liturgical scholars." Peter Atkinsm Auckland, New Zealand, REVIEWS IN RELIGION AND THEOLOGY, February 2005. "it will be for the foreseeable future an indispensable companion for anyone who would like to explore the answers to (...)the many other fascinating questions it raises." Jeremy Worthen, South East Institute for Theological Education, Theology November/December 2005

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
