Das Vaterunser

The Lord=s Prayer is one of the most famous texts of Christianity. In this volume, Unger argues that we should not see the lines of the Lord=s Prayer as a mere model for recitation, but as a guide for themes for independent prayer and reflection. He gives the pleas of the Lord=s Prayer selected words and selected parables of Jesus which reflect the specific basic idea of a line of the Lord=s Prayer, and binds the prayer into the message of the earthly Jesus.

The band opens up new readings of the well-known words of the Lord=s Prayer: as a source of aid and encouragement to a widening and reorientation of thinking and acting.



Günter Unger was a priest in Munich and now lives in Augsburg.
