The Lord’s prayer and Modern Man

Auteur(s):
A study of the Lord's Prayer.

This is a book for which many individuals and groups have been waiting. Those with no faith often feel that there must be something in prayer and wish they could find out what it is. This is their chance. There are others who have said the Lord’s Prayer countless times and wonder why it means so little to them. This book gives them an opportunity to find out the reason and the remedy. The world is in ferment. Is there ageless truth that can be found, or only modern opinions that can be advanced? Is there a place for prayer in a scientific age? Can it play an effective part in feeding the hungry, dealing with the Bomb, and in pointing humanity towards both a new type of man and a purposeful future? Roger Hicks takes the Lord’s Prayer phrase by phrase and shows its relevance for the Christian and the non-Christian today, and the essential part it can play in building the coming world civilisation.

After taking his M.A. at Oxford, Roger Hicks taught history in Madras University. Later he studied theology at Westcott House, Cambridge.

Of his previous book, The Endless Adventure, Life of Faith wrote: ‘This book makes challenging and fascinating reading. . . . Those whose faith is small will find much to fan it into new flame. . . . This is a book not to be missed.’
