Jewish Background to the Lord's Prayer

In The Jewish Background to the Lord’s Prayer, Brad Young uncovers the rich Jewish themes, ideas, and devotional patterns that shaped one of Jesus’ most beloved teachings. He shows how each line of the prayer is rooted in the faith, hopes, and spiritual vocabulary of first-century Judaism, bringing new depth and meaning to familiar words.

Clear, thoughtful, and deeply enriching, this book helps readers appreciate the Lord’s Prayer as Jesus’ original followers would have heard it—full of reverence, trust, and connection to God.
