Prayer in the New Testament: Answers for Today's Questions?

This is a book which Professor Cullmann, now in his nineties, has long been wanting to write; its profundity and scholarship show that has not lost any of the qualities which made his other New Testament studies so memorable. But he has always been more than just a biblical specialist in his desire to relate his findings to the experience of being a Christian today, and in this book he foes even further in that direction than before.

Oscar Cullman offers here the first complete treatment of the New Testament doctrine and practice of prayer, a subject he refers to as "the greatest gift of grace and a difficult task that has to be learned". He commends on the difficulties of praying, objections to prayer, prayer and human weakness, prayer in the Synoptic Gospels, in Paul, in John, and in the rest of the New Testament.
