Sinopsis

The postmodern and secular culture of the West requires a new reflection on God. The Implicit Theology of the Lord&rsquo,s Prayer: A Biblical and Theological Investigation reflects on God on the basis of an original and central expression of the Christian faith: the Lord&rsquo,s Prayer. First, Jan Muis interprets the divine names central to this prayer in their biblical contexts. Next, Muis understands the divine attributes implied by these names from the biblical narrative of God&rsquo,s self-revealing actions, and explains them in a contemporary framework. God&rsquo,s Name indicates his particular personal presence and encounter with human beings. The holiness of God&rsquo,s Name and the justice of his Kingship are more than just aspects of the love of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. The Creator is not a human blown large, in his companionship with humans, he remains the Exalted who lives both &ldquo,within&rdquo, and &ldquo,beyond&rdquo, created, temporal reality. In the context of &ldquo,a secular age,&rdquo, Muis discusses in what sense this God exists.
