Book Synopsis
Considers the many dimensions of prayer: how prayer relates us to the divine; prayer's ability to reveal what is essential about our humanity; the power of prayer to transform human desire and action; and the relation of prayer to cognition. It takes up the meaning of prayer from within a phenomenological point of view.

Trade Review
"This collection of seventeen papers deals with Christian and Jewish prayer from a philosophical perspective..." -International Review of Biblical Studies "The volume is effective, no doubt, because the analysis of prayer flows at least, in part, out of the practices of prayer; in which case what we have here is not just an intracontinental philosophical discussion but, unexpectedly and pleasantly so, an ecumenical forum of prayerful performances." -Religious Studies Review
