Chapman.Since the beginning of Christianity, the Lord's Prayer has occupied an important place in the lives of Jesus's disciples, for it is the prayer Jesus himself taught them. This volume helps readers understand how this classic and beloved text can speak afresh to the life of the church today.'Wright's careful exposition of the Lord's Prayer effectively joins exegetical study to theological reflection and spiritual practice. Both detailed and accessible, this book presents the prayer within the contexts of Jewish Scripture and tradition as an example of 'divine pedagogy.' On nearly every page, I encountered fresh insights about how, through his prayer, Jesus teaches about God, himself, and disciples then and now. A must-read for all students of Scripture.'--Elizabeth E. Shively, St. Mary's College, University of St. Andrews'Hardly any other biblical text has as great a claim on Christians as the text of the prayer that Jesus taught us.

For anyone wishing to access the treasures hidden in the Lord's gift of a model prayer, this book will be a magnificent guide.'--Anthony Giambrone, OP, École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem'Christians throughout the ages have considered the Lord's Prayer a summary of the entire gospel.

His lucid exposition of its main theological issues and his thoughtful reflections on its practical significance for the community of faith will surely benefit those who wish to embrace this prayer on their spiritual journeys.'--Te-Li Lau, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Required reading for all those interested in the ongoing quest for the historical Jesus'New Testament scholar Craig Blomberg explains that a fourth quest for the historical Jesus is underway, one that highlights the contribution of the Gospel of John and recognizes Jesus as Purifier.'This book is a treasure. Not only does it helpfully discuss the current state of debate over the third quest and criteria; it points the way to the reintroduction of John into the conversation. Recognizing the value of the third quest, it appropriately raises the need for a fourth. You will profit greatly from this read.'--Darrell L. Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary'Blomberg takes up the challenge of bringing historical inquiry to the one Gospel that is often left out of the mix for understanding the Jesus of history. Blomberg not only argues that much more of John is amenable to sketching a portrait of who Jesus was; he also discerns from John an early interest in purification in Jesus's ministry. Jesus the Purifier is required reading for all those interested in the ongoing quest for the historical Jesus.'--Jeannine K. Brown, Bethel Seminary'Jesus the Purifier effectively introduces readers to the so-called fourth quest for the historical Jesus. Its arguments advance in significant ways the claim that the Gospel of John can be used as a reliable source in historical reconstructions of Jesus. The method and approach offered in the book will become a model for future generations of scholars, and the implications of its conclusions will challenge and strengthen the theology and mission of the church.'--Carlos Raúl Sosa Siliezar, Wheaton College'Readers essentially get two good books here: a fair and extremely helpful survey of the history of Jesus research, suitable for a historical Jesus course, that does not leave out voices often marginalized by Bultmannians, and a case for why John's Gospel belongs in historical Jesus research. A leading scholar on John and history, Blomberg provides historical context for the development of various views, critiquing them intelligently and fairly. When he turns specifically to the Fourth Gospel, he shows that a historical case can be made for considerably more of it than many of us Johannine scholars have dared hope.'--Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary.
