<br> In this book, Professor Fisher examines the examples of prayer in the New Testament. His purpose: to derive principles by which Christians may guide themselves in prayer in all its aspects including: the theology of prayer, Jesus as exemplar; the Lord's Prayer as "the model prayer"; the various forms of prayer; perseverance in prayer; the church and prayer. He even gets down to such fine points as bodily posture, the wording of prayers, the place of prayer, clothing, and fasting.
