Résumé : |
The Apostle Paul was a man of prayer. His frequent prayers are among the richest sources in all of Scripture for gaining a practical insight into the subject matter of God-honoring prayer. Yet Bible students and teachers are hardly aware of this part of Paul’s ministry. Much has been written about the Lord’s Prayer and the high priestly prayer of the Lord Jesus as well as the numerous Old Testament prayers. However, for the Christian the prayers of Paul should hold comparable significance.
Mr. Pink has offered a detailed study of these prayers. More than just a consideration of the phrases, words, topics and doctrines, Gleanings from Paul is an attempt to capture the essence of the apostle’s concern plus the heartbeat of the congregations for which he consistently prayed. The remarkable note about Paul’s prayers is that they are often found in the context of some word of instruction. From his pen flowed practical guidance, earnest supplication, thanksgiving and praise interspersed with wise counsel and advice. For Paul, prayer was not merely a few words uttered in a pious moment, but a way of life—communication with the living God and a source of encouragement to the saints of God. Although Gleanings from Paul is primarily a study of Paul’s prayers, the scope of this remarkable book is far wider. Centered around prayers and notes of praise, the author has made an unusual contribution to a more complete understanding of Paul himself, the God he served and the churches with which he worked. |
