Trade Review
"In a powerful afterword, Gay speaks to the continued link between prayer and polemic in our post-secular times." -- Alison Shell * The Times Literary Supplement *
"The book effectively produces a picture of faithful spiritual writing across emerging divisions, and the chief contribution of the book is the way it shows how intimate the division was: how congregations and poets were all praying the Lord’s Prayer, yet in ways marked in contradistinction." -- Paul Dyck, Canadian Mennonite University * Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme *
