What is The Jewish background to the Lord's prayer about?

From the Forward: The Gospels give abundant evidence of the centrality of prayer in Jesus' own life, from his baptism to his crucifixion. Today, a new generation of disciples is learning, as did the disciples of old, the necessity and power of prayer. We struggle with prayer, as did they. We, too, ask, "Lord, teach us to pray." Can the time-worn and perhaps overly-familiar words of the "Lord's Prayer" be more than a kind of spiritual pacifier for us today? Are there hidden in these simple words concepts that can stimulate and challenge us? Happily, the answer to both questions is yes, as the reader of this booklet by Brad Young will discover. We believe what is printed here merits the attention of Bible scholars, of clergy, and of serious lay persons.
