Synopsis

In Our Father Who Art On Earth Jose Tolentino Mendonca draws on the expertise of biblical texts, but also to the data of anthropology and literature, to dare to 'open-up' the Our Father to believers and non-believers, and point out new keys to a spiritual reading of this text that is the heart of Christianity. The result is absolutely unusual. The reader is summoned to an inner journey that they will not forget.
