• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book traces the history and evolution of Christian prayer, examining its theological, cultural, and practical dimensions across twenty chapters. From its biblical foundations and the prayer life of Jesus to its expression in the early Church, monastic traditions, and through periods of mysticism, reform, and renewal, the study provides a deep analysis of the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation.

The narrative highlights pivotal moments such as the influence of the Desert Fathers, the liturgical standardization of the Divine Office, and the theological contributions of the Church Fathers. It examines the transformation of prayer during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, the rise of global prayer movements, and the challenges of secularization and pluralism in the modern era.

Special attention is given to the integration of technology, the role of prayer in social justice movements, and the influence of globalization, demonstrating how Christian prayer continues to adapt to contemporary contexts. Through primary source analysis, theological reflection, and cultural commentary, this study underscores the enduring significance of prayer as a means of connecting with the divine, shaping community, and addressing the spiritual and social needs of humanity.
