The Lord’s Prayer – No Addaption of Existing Jewish Petitions

Product Description

It has been asserted that the laconic, but comprehensive petition which our Lord has taught His Disciples, was substantially a Prayer already in use, at His time on earth, in the Liturgical services of the Temple and synagogue; when “He came to visit us in great humility.” The frequency with which the question was put to me made me at last abrupt in my reply: -“Nothing of the kind! The Jewish Liturgy has never contained any thing so glorious, so august, so comprehensive as that wonderful supplication which is known as the LORD’S PRAYER.”
