Addressing issues of God’s will for us and our response, our responsibilities to each other and to the earth, the theology of our daily bread, the moral responsibilities that come with money, our nation states and God’s kingdom, Crossan reveals the enduring meaning and universal significance of the only prayer Jesus ever taught.
