This book focuses on a neglected area of New Testament studies--the function of prayer across the Johannine literature. By building on the author's previous work, Prayer in John's Farewell Discourse, this book takes another step forward by exploring how prayer in the Farewell Discourse compares to prayer in 1 John, 3 John, and Revelation. It also seeks to discern how prayer is linked to the ethical behaviors of Johannine disciples, their missional success as they carry forth the mission of God in the world, and the eschatological impulse of calling for Jesus to come again in order to complete his work in the world. As a bonus, the final chapter highlights key elements of Johannine prayer that are relevant to the contemporary reader who approaches the Scriptures not merely as ancient documents to be read and interpreted but as timeless truths that are to be applied and obeyed.
Autorenporträt
Scott Adams is best known as the creator of the Dilbert comic strip that has been published continuously since 1989, now available only to subscribers on the X platform (formerly Twitter) and at www.ScottAdams.Locals.com.Adams authored the famously influential books The Dilbert Principle, How to Lose at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Win Bigly, and Reframe Your Brain. Each of those books is considered a classic in its domain. But for many readers, God's Debris is the book that made the strongest positive impression.Adams has a B.A. in Economics from Hartwick College and an MBA from The Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley.Adams grew up in Windham, New York, and after graduating from Hartwick College, traded his beat-up car for a one-way plane ticket to California. After sixteen years of corporate experience-half of that at a big bank and the rest at a local phone company-Adams became a full-time cartoonist and author. By then, he had completed his MBA while working full-time, and he used his business skills plus his corporate experience to make Dilbert a rare success in the comics industry.
