If you’ve fallen into praying the Lord’s Prayer like it’s a dutiful mantra required to get to the next step of a worship service, to end a meeting properly, or to remind your group that there’s a spiritual component to its gathering, a fresh perspective can infuse new energy into this universal and timeless prayer.
The author analyzes various translations of the Lord’s Prayer as scholars have interpreted it from Aramaic, the language of Jesus. He uncovers new depth and beauty hidden beneath the surface of its beloved traditional words.
The Aramaic language is more poetic and mystical than Greek. It invites listeners to explore the meanings of every word at the level of body, mind, and spirit. With new understanding, you won’t want to rush through the Lord’s Prayer to get finished, but to meditate on it and let it wash you with new meaning every time you pray it.
