Morning and Evening Prayers for All Days of the Week (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

This little manual of prayers herewith offered to English speaking Christians in their own language, has long been one of the treasures of the German people. With the exception of a few prayers, as hereinafter noted, it was originally written by one of God's noblemen, by one who "lived and moved and had his being" in the things of the Kingdom of God. Dr. John Habermann (known also as Avenarius, Latinized form of Habermann) died 1590 as superintendent at Zeitz, was a famous preacher and a distinguished scholar of his day. He was noted for his profound knowledge of oriental languages especially of the Hebrew. Still it is not this but the fact of his little prayer book that has endeared him to his fellow Christians. And this manual of prayers is the mature product of an inner life rich in the grace of God. On every page it bears the stamp of one for whom the communion with the eternal Father in heaven through the faith in Jesus Christ, the Savior, is a blessed reality. Nothing more natural therefore also than that he should "live and move and have his being" in the language of the Word of God. And this is quite apparent in his prayer language. God's Word give him the terms to express his thoughts. Especially the Psalter, the prayer and hymn book of Israel, proves a veritable thesaurus of prayer terms and of these he makes a copious use. Johann Habermann, also Johannes Avenarius (10 August 1516 - 5 December 1590) was a German Lutheran theologian. In 1565, Habermann published his most important work, Morning and Evening Prayers for All Days of the Week, a prayer-book that assigned prayers for various Christian needs to the days of the week.

Autor

Johann Habermann (1516-1590), also known by the Latin version of his name, Johannes Avenarius, was a prominent figure in the Lutheran church during the 16th century. Born in Eger, Bohemia, Habermann distinguished himself through his theological writings and his devotion to pastoral care. He pursued his education at the University of Wittenberg, where he was influenced by the teachings of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon. Over the course of his spiritual and scholarly journey, Habermann held various ecclesiastical positions, including serving as a deacon in Zittau and later as superintendent in Zeitz. His prolific contributions to religious literature culminated in numerous works, including 'Morning and Evening Prayers for All Days of the Week,' which remains his most famous devotional text to this day. Written in a heartfelt and accessible style, this book was intended to guide Christians in their daily worship and to foster a habit of regular prayer. Habermann's book notably reflects the Lutheran emphasis on direct communion with God, leaning towards an intimate and individual approach to spiritual practice. His prayers, characterized by their deep spirituality and compassionate tone, have continued to be cherished by believers for their ability to connect the human experience with divine grace. Habermann's legacy endures not only through his writings but also through his impact on Lutheran piety and devotional life.
