But what, theologically speaking, is going on when we pray? What does prayer have to do with religious belief and action? Does prayer make a difference? \u003ci\u003ePrayer: A Guide for the Perplexed\u003c\/i\u003e addresses these and other key questions regarding the Christian theology of prayer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning with Evagrius of Ponticus's 'On Prayer', Ashley Cocksworth finds in this early document a profound expression of the 'integrity' of the experience of prayer and theological thought. Seeking throughout to integrate systematic theology and the spirituality of prayer, individual chapters explore the meaning of some of the core doctrines of lived Christian faith - the Trinity, creation, providence, and the Christian life - as they relate to the practice of prayer. Complete with an annotated bibliography of sources on prayer to promote further reading, this volume appeals to academics and general readers alike.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAshley Cocksworth\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Theology and Ministry in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at Durham University, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 12, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47361897955577,"sku":"9780567226679","price":66.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/bnAvSWtueXU1S21aVTNnRU42TkJXUT09.webp?v=1769895142","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/prayer-a-guide-for-the-perplexed-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
