Model Prayer

Excerpt from The Model Prayer: And Other New Testament Studies, Expository and Devotional These studies are an outgrowth of my work in Seminary instruction. They have been used in pulpit or on lecture platform. They seem to me to embody in a telling manner certain fundamental principles of the Christian religion and life. It is my desire in publishing them to give them more permanent form and, I hope, render them more widely useful. All helps accessible to me have been used in preparing these studies, and general acknowledgment of the use of such helps is here made. Some items of material and turns of expression in the fourth study (Life's Record) are derived from a suggestive editorial in The Outlook (see reading references). The translation of First Corinthians 13 in the sixth study was made from Tischendorf's Greek text. The sixth and seventh studies have been made popular in quality rather than technical or scholastic, in order to adapt them better to the use of the general reader. My study of Love, which was originally made many years ago, has profited in revision by reference to the rich body of materials brought together and discussed in Warfield's able and thorough study of the N. T. love terminology, just published in The Princeton Theological Review (see reading references). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
