Analyzing Prayer draws together a range of theologians and philosophers to deal with different approaches to prayer as a Christian practice. The essays included deal with issues pertaining to petitionary prayer, prayer as reorientation of oneself in the presence of God, prayer by those who do not believe, liturgical prayer, mystical prayer, whether God prays, the interrelation between prayer and various forms of knowledge, theologizing as a form of prayer, lament and prayer, prayer and God's presence, and even prayer and the meaning of life. The volume contains cutting-edge studies on a neglected topic of theological study that contributes to the broadening of themes tackled by analytic theology.
This volume investigates the conceptual, theological, and philosophical dimensions of prayer as a central Christian practice. The editors, James M. Arcadi, Oliver D. Crisp, and Jordan Wessling, curate a collection of essays from diverse scholars to examine the mechanics and implications of prayer. By applying the rigorous methods of analytic theology, the contributors address how prayer functions in relation to divine presence, human knowledge, and the nature of God.
