About the author

Cyprian (Latin: Thascius Caecilius Cyprianus) was bishop of Carthage and an important Early Christian writer, many of whose Latin works are extant. He was born around the beginning of the 3rd century in North Africa, perhaps at Carthage, where he received a classical education. After converting to Christianity, he became a bishop in 249 and eventually died a martyr at Carthage.

Cyprian and Tertullian do a great exposition of the Lord’s Prayer and showing the proper approach to prayer in general.

[Adonis McReynolds · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easily the best book on prayer I have ever read. Simple, beautiful, practical, and absolutely essential. 🙏☦️

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really good, Patristic exposition of the Lord's Prayer. Interestingly, the version of the Lord's Prayer he uses lacks the conclusion that you find in the so-called Received Text. As I often say, the best way to avoid undue dogmatism on textual criticism is to read the Patristics.

Great commentary on the Lord’s Prayer in bite sized pieces - good for quick daily reading and meditation.
