Beten hilft! Oder tut es nur gut? Ist es wichtig, vielleicht sogar notwendig? Und wenn es hilft, inwiefern lasst Gott sich von Menschen und ihren Gebeten in seinem Handeln beeinflussen?

Prayer has many faces and forms. Since the dawn of Christianity it is an improtant part of everyday and ecclesiastical life. But prayer is also present in early and modern Judaism, in Islam and other religions. Thsi volume focuses on the basic forms of praying such as supplications of pleading, claiming, thanking and intercession. It also discusses the reception of the psalms from Jesus’s Passion, the relation of mind and letter as well as the great practitioners, theorists and critics of prayer as Martin Luther, Immanuel Kant, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It also deals with the relation of prayer and living.
