Description
Prayer: A Guide for the Perplexed by Ashley Cocksworth explores the Christian theology of prayer and its relationship to core doctrines of lived faith. Drawing on early Christian texts, including Evagrius of Ponticus's 'On Prayer', this volume seeks to integrate systematic theology with the spirituality of prayer. The book examines key concepts such as the Trinity, creation, providence, and the Christian life, revealing their significance for understanding the practice of prayer. With an annotated bibliography of sources on prayer, this guide appeals to both academics and general readers seeking a deeper understanding of Christian faith and its relationship to prayer. Suitable for those looking to deepen their knowledge of Christian theology and spirituality, Prayer: A Guide for the Perplexed offers a thoughtful exploration of the role of prayer in lived Christian faith.
