Several people have been blogging about a book that I mentioned when I read a draft of it about a year\u00a0ago<\/a>. The book is by Jeffrey Gibson, and the title is The Disciples\u2019 Prayer: The Prayer Jesus Taught in Its Historical Setting<\/a>\"\".\u00a0<\/i>Jim Spinti<\/a> offered some brief thoughts on the book, and Loren Rosson<\/a> offers a fuller review of the book\u2019s key arguments.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the endorsement that I provided to the publisher<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cOne could be forgiven for thinking that, when it comes to such familiar and oft-studied words as those of the Lord\u2019s Prayer, little new could be said, and any new proposals would most likely be wrong, if not indeed far-fetched. Yet in his book,\u00a0<\/span>The Disciples\u2019 Prayer<\/em><\/a>, Jeffrey Gibson not only offers new and compelling interpretations of the prayer and its background but even suggests that the very designation we have been using for the prayer is off target and has led to us misunderstanding it in important ways. As if that weren\u2019t enough, he manages to do this with a focus that is exegetical and scholarly, and yet also keeps an eye on what it means for Christians to actually pray this prayer. Gibson\u2019s book may revolutionize not just New Testament scholarship\u2019s understanding of this famous prayer, but the prayer life of the contemporary church as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of related interest, discussion continues here on the blog about something that is\u00a0not<\/em> a translation of the Lord\u2019s Prayer, but claims to be.<\/a><\/p>\n
