Every Sunday, the Lord's Prayer echoes in churches around the world. It is an indisputable principle of Christian faith. It is the way Jesus taught his followers to pray and distills the most essential beliefs required of every one of the world's 2.5 billion Christians. In The Greatest Prayer, our foremost Jesus scholar explores this foundational prayer line by line for the richest and fullest understanding of a prayer every Christian knows by heart. An expert on the historical Jesus, Crossan provides just the right amount of history, scholarship, and detail for us to rediscover why this seemingly simple prayer sparked a revolution. Addressing issues of God's will for us and our response, our responsibilities to one another and to the earth, the theology of our daily bread, the moral responsibilities that come with money, our nation-states, and God's kingdom, Crossan reveals the enduring meaning and universal significance of the only prayer Jesus ever taught.… (mere)

I like John Dominic Crossan and what he has to say, but I've occasionally thought that he practices a certain "sleight of hand" in reaching his conclusions. I found that true in several places in this book. Take his exegesis of the petition, "lead us not into temptation." His argument is that this plea is SPECIFICALLY to lead us not into the temptation to do violence. Taking various other gospel passages, he demonstrates how Jesus was an advocate of non-violence. That's fair. I myself happen to believe that's true. But then he makes the leap to conclude that the petition in the Lord's Prayer was itself also about non-violence, to the exclusion of all else. I'm not fully convinced that the strength of his argument in one case justified his making that leap. Really--was a temptation to violence ALL Jesus had in mind?

Jesus' proclamation may indeed have been about a Realm of justice and righteousness, with his prayer being an expression of that proclamation. But within that context, I believe it was also meant to hold hope for his followers, rather than merely to narrowly prescriptive. ( )

A really wonderful meditation on "The Lord's Prayer" filled with history and Biblical exegesis. I find Crossan to be a wonderful historian but occasionally a confusing writer which is unfortunate. Overall, though, I really enjoyed this book. It's a wonderful exploration of the revolutionary power of a prayer most people take for granted. Crossan put it back into its original context and expounds on why the prayer would have been so revolutionary.

I think Crossan could have gone further with his ideas about what the prayer means to us today. There is a lot of overlap of his explanation of the historical understandings of this prayer and christian anarchism which I found to be very interesting. ( )
