Michael Brown’s volume 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 226.96060567026701 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 226.9'606 Bro l E07001336 Non Fiction 226.9'606 Bro l 9780567026705.jpg 59956 2014-12-16 10:48:29 2025-04-15 19:17:47 machine generated
