The Lord's Prayer through North African Eyes

- A Window into Early Christianity

Om The Lord's Prayer through North African Eyes

Michael Brown''s book helps to explain why Christians throughout the ages have interpreted texts differently, especially cultic texts. Beginning with an imagined Graeco-Roman auditor of the Lord''s Prayer, Brown demonstrates how a Graeco-Roman''s understanding of the prayer would have been different from that of a Hellenized Jew in Palestine. Brown takes the reader into discussions of early Graeco-Roman Christians regarding prayer in general and the Lord''s Prayer in particular. Focusing on cultic didachai of Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian of Carthage, The Lord''s Prayer through North African Eyes is a window into the turbulent and sometimes confusing world of second-century Christianity in Africa.
