Sinopsis

The first section of the book is a word study: to examine the lexical definitions of the terms that Jesus used in the Lord's Prayer; to search for synonyms to expand the understanding of the words; to explore the words' denotations and connotations.



The second section goes into the history of the prayer's linguistic development. The Lord's Prayer changed: from one Gospel writer to another; from one language to another; from one century to another, as the English language changed.
