About this title

Synopsis

Despite the anxious and ubiquitous materialism of the modern world, the practice of prayer and meditation remains a source of both relief and inspiration for millions. This unique compilation of over 1,100 prayers combines the traditional with the modern, stretching from the Bible, the saints and mystics of the past, and the Book of Common Prayer, to a Ghanaian fisherman's prayer, and prayers from many influential non-Christian religions.
Selected for their literary merit as well as spiritual quality, these prayers speak to the modern reader. Arranged under headings such as "Prayers from the Scripture," "Prayers of Christians, Personal and Occasional," and "Prayers of Other Traditions of Faith," the anthology includes a subject index to guide the reader to prayers for particular occasions, as well as an index of authors and sources. It serves as the ideal source for browsing or for more structured prayer, as well as for private meditation or public worship.

From the Back Cover

Prayer is everywhere the expression of man's basic attitude of dependence and humility towards his creator. The idea of producing an 'Oxford Book of Prayer' came from the Oxford University Press. With George Appleton as General Editor, and a group of about a dozen people representing the main Christian traditions, the prayers were selected and arranged in a setting that is not comprehensive, though it is hoped that in various sections of the book a reasonably representative selection will be found.
