On the Lord’s Prayer (Popular Patristics Series; Vol 29): Tertullian, Cyprian, Origen / January 01, 2004

Requires Accordance 10.4 or above.

For even more information, see this release announcement.

These are the only three existing ante-Nicene treatises on the Lord’s Prayer, and they became the starting point for many other commentaries. Of the three, however, only the discourse of Cyprian is an address to catechumens. Tertullian’s treatise contains additional material on the conduct of worship and on prayer in the assembly, and Origen’s commentary is a vast work on the whole subject of prayer, as much suited to advanced learners in the school of Christ as to those preparing for baptism.
