More about the book

Exploring the historical context of Jesus's prayer, David Clark argues it emerged from a revival of Jewish prayer and reflects Israel's wilderness testing through Jesus's temptation. He examines its significance in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, as well as in the Didache, and discusses Tertullian's third-century commentary. The narrative traces the evolution of themes and ideas within the prayer, highlighting its reception from Judaism to early Christianity, and illustrates how this reception deepens our understanding of the prayer's multifaceted meanings.
