Praying the Bible with Luther

- A simple approach to everyday prayer

About Praying the Bible with Luther

There is a need in todayΓÇÖs church to relate scripture and prayer in such a way as to enable us to speak GodΓÇÖs words after him. This book takes a simple lectio divina approach developed in the sixteenth century by Martin Luther and offers practical guidance to pray in this way. Beginning each time of prayer with a Bible passage, Luther would meditate on it with four ΓÇÿstrandsΓÇÖ in mind: teaching, thanksgiving, repentance and supplication. Then he would pray, having his thoughts shaped by his reading, praying GodΓÇÖs words after him, confident of GodΓÇÖs grace. Praying the Bible with Luther explains this method, demonstrates it and encourages readers to follow his example, helping us to turn scripture into prayer and to pray it into our own lives today.
