Luke 11:1-4

Compare Matthew 6:9-13

 

Probably the best Mormon discussion of “The Lord’s Prayer” is to be found in John W. Welch’s 1998 Illuminating the Sermon at the Temple and Sermon on the Mount: An Approach to 3 Nephi 11-18 and Matthew 5-7, reissued in 2010 as The Sermon at the Temple and the Sermon on the Mount: A Latter-day Saint Approach, which is a substantial revision of his 1990 The Sermon at the Temple and the Sermon on the Mount.

 

Of course, the book was published by FARMS (now the Maxwell Institute), back in the dark era before real scholarship came to that organization, when vicious ad hominems and pseudo-scholarship were the order of the day.

 

In 2009, incidentally, Professor Welch — my incredibly prolific and polymathic friend — published The Sermon on the Mount in the Light of the Temple with Ashgate, in the United Kingdom.  This was a revision of his work for a general, non-Mormon audience.
