| 520 | |a "Biblical Theology of prayer in the Old Testament presents a study of astonishing depth and ambition in a society where prayer is too frequently understood in a narrow manner. It attempts to transform our thinking about meaning, language, ethics and religion by presenting holistic, interrelated, relational and limitless outlooks on prayer. It challenges many of our presumptions and lays out an utterly reimagined way of looking at prayer. This well-written scholarly book is a testament to the tremendous intellectual effort of Albert J Coetsee, Francois P Viljoen and the contributing chapter authors, expended in carefully considering the seriousness of prayer. The bold scope is impressive and succeeds with a valid result: a unique work that belongs beside history's most significant. The scholars' arguments are admirably presented in an approachable manner and provide something to think about, and scholars and academics interested in this field will greatly benefit from this book. When it comes to our presence and familiarity with the subject of prayer in the Old Testament, the authors explain it well. The authors open the door to the whole reality of prayer, which we will remember whilst engaging with this book.."--Back cover. | ||
| 520 | |a "Prayer literature forms an integral part of the Old Testament. Unfortunately, the Biblical Theology of prayer was neglected in the past. This edited collection, written by several South African and international scholars, therefore makes a major contribution to the Biblical Theology of prayer. Most prayer books focus on the Psalm; however, this excellent book covers the entire Old Testament, from the Pentateuch to Chronicles. It emphasises that prayer plays a crucial role in the covenant relationship between God and his people, similar to how the Bible portrays different people (from women to kings) communicating with God under other circumstances. This book is of significant value to scholars. It will inspire scholars to think about prayer and use the Bible as the major 'prayer handbook' in their spiritual lives."--Back cover. | ||
