Tim Clayton: The Lord's Prayer Is Manifesto: The Three Dimensions of Jesus's Sacred Revolution, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

⭐Advance Praise and Reviews⭐ "We have learned of the spiritual, even mystical dimension of prayer. This book reminds us of the relational, even revolutionary aspect of prayer--of the Lord's Prayer as a manifesto! Prayer is not primarily about centering; it is profoundly about entering. This understanding of prayer has always appealed to me because it highlights that it is about participating in--ultimately about plugging into--an existing and eternal "rhythm" of communion with God, others, and creation." -Fr. John Chryssavgis, Executive Director, Huffington Ecumenical Institute at Holy Cross School of Theology

Beyond mere recitation, the one prayer that Jesus taught -- the Lord's Prayer - is a comprehensive spirituality for healing humanity's deepest wounds and transforming every dimension of existence: personal, relational, social, and structural.

Through his teaching of this prayer, Jesus provided a spiritual manifesto and a way to bring heaven to earth through our daily lives. In this book Tim Clayton recovers the Prayer's original thematic and rhythmic structure through three practical pathways: Encountering God (The gift of being as creaturely); Bringing that Encounter to Ourselves and Others (The importance of humble love and forgiveness); and Healing Humanity's Wounds (The courage to stand up to empire orderings of the world).
