We are often reminded this time of year, and rightfully so, that “Jesus is the Reason for the Season.” I can think of no better way to celebrate what Jesus gave to us than to renew our appreciation for his most amazing gift, The Lord’s Prayer. In the Gospel of Luke, when Jesus is asked by one of his disciples, “Lord, teach us to pray.” He responds very specifically, with the Lord’s Prayer. He also teaches this prayer as a component of the Sermon on the Mount. Thus we see in scripture that when Jesus teaches us to pray it is always with these words.

Review of the book, God Without God: Western Spirituality Without the Wrathful King by Michael Hampson – God Without God seeks to explore what happens to the Western spiritual tradition when the God of presumptive monotheism is removed. Far from being destroyed or diminished, the tradition flourishes in its liberation. It emerges from its captivity as an egalitarian, humanistic spirituality that challenges and defies all earthly powers in its celebration of the realm of the spirit, and the realm of the divine. In acknowledging God who is the ground of all being, we find ourselves in profound communion with the whole human race, for there is only one humankind, only one creation, and only one ground for all being.
