Prayer (1st lecture)

Prayer is absolutely vital for the Christian life. This course is an introductory exploration of what the Scriptures have to say about the nature of prayer and its practice. There is also an examination of what certain strands of the Christian tradition (notably, the Ancient Church in the patristic era, the Puritans, and the Calvinistic Baptists in the “long” 18th century) have taught about prayer. The main goal of the course is to deepen the student's commitment to a life of prayer, both personal and corporate.
