Book Reviews of Fifty Prayers
Book Review: Fifty Wonderful Communal Prayers
Summary: 5 Stars
Prayer is one of those subjects that is central to Christian life, but is rather a vague concept. In this book, Karl Barth shares some of his communal prayers from various Sunday services.
These prayers can provide a good starting point if your seeking to explore the concept of or to enhance your practice of communal prayer.
Btw, read the forward. Barth explains a bit of his own development in communal prayer and his reasons behind this book. The forward really does add extra meaning to this book.
Summary of Fifty Prayers
The first and basic act of theological work is prayer, Karl Barth claimed in his lecture Introduction to Evangelical Theology. But how did this preeminent theologian, widely considered one of the most influential theologians of the modern era, craft and present his own public prayers? This collection for the first time makes Barth s pastoral prayers available to an English-speaking audience, offering a fresh perspective on how the great Swiss theologian understood this central practice of Christian life. The prayers are organized according to seasons of the liturgical year, making them ideal for both group use and individual reflection.Faith Books
