The Lord’s Prayer as an Apologetic

While many books and articles exist on the Lord’s Prayer, few if any look at it as a statement of apologetics, or a world-and-life view. This seminar purposes to look at the Lord’s Prayer as a transforming vision. Prayer itself is essential to Christian apologetics; the defense and commendation of the Christian faith. Each of the petitions can be understood as a point of apologetics, because they take a particular part of life and look for renovation in our individual and corporate lives as we face them. Each of them is counter-cultural, and calls for radical change through the presence of God clothed in the Gospel.
