Through a linguistic analysis of the Hebrew Lord's Prayer, this article endeavors to reach a new understanding of the function of this text in the lives of its users, concluding that the ninth-century Carolingian writer/translator meant for this text to be sung aloud. This article goes back to the basics of textual research—philology and language study—in order to determine the correct historical framework through which to understand this much-debated text, thus adding to our understanding of the religious life and practice of the nuns of Essen at the polyglottic crossroads of Latin and German, Hebrew and Greek. This paper is also an invitation for future studies to continue its effort to rewrite the history of Hebrew in the church, for historians to broaden their toolbox, and for linguists and philologists to contribute their insights to other fields.

This article examines the phrase ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου in Matthew and Luke’s versions of the Lord’s Prayer in the light of Ewe-Ghanaian eschatological vision. Theoretically, it uses a combination of the historical–critical and indigenous Mother Tongue Biblical Hermeneutical approaches to explore the implication of βασιλεία for the Ewe-Ghanaian Christian. The article discusses the diversity in the interpretations of the text from the early church to the modern and postmodern periods in Christian history and argues that this diversity has occurred as a result of the fluidity of the eschatological visions in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures and that the linear eschatological vision described by the church is inconsistent with the cyclical vision in Ewe cosmology. This dual eschatological vision creates a dilemma in the Ewe-Ghanaian Christian’s understanding of the eternal states. Finally, it is argued that to resolve this eschatological dilemma is to clearly define the place of Ewe eschatological vision in Christian eschatology and interpreting the former as replica of the latter.

Ch. Dodd in According to the Scriptures argues that the early Church had a distinctive method of biblical study. Quotations and citations of the OT were employed in oral tradition, and by some NT writers, as pointers indicating larger contexts or whole sections of scripture. That such sections of the OT were in common use is demonstrated by two or more NT authors independently referring to the same passage, although perhaps to different verses. Furthermore Dodd holds that the early Church used these longer passages to provide witness to ‘the determinate counsel of God which was fulfilled in the gospel facts’. This body of OT reference material, and its application to the NT events, underlies the theological expositions of the Church, especially that of Paul, the fourth evangelist, and the author of Hebrews.

Everywhere in Europe the translations of the Bible into the evernacular languages have been the strongest help towards Reformation. It would be a very attractive task to study in detail, to compare and to summarise the history of the Bible in the Reformation movement, from West to East and from South to North in Europe.2 John Knox tells us that, when the Act of Parliament of 1543 allowed the Scriptures to be read freely, this was ‘no small comfort to such as before were held in such bondage that they durst not have read the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, nor articles of their faith, in the English tongue, but they should have been accused of heresy. Then might have been seen the Bible lying almost upon every gentleman's table. The NT was borne about in many men's hand.3 By these words is given no doubt a true and striking picture of the general situation in Scotland in those days and this may be true also for the beginnings of the Reformation in other countries some decades earlier. The Scots reformer adds that, although for reasons of profit many acted in an inexcusable way with the new book, ‘yet thereby did the knowledge of God wondrously increase and God gave his Holy Spirit to simple men in great abundance’.Now this is my first thesis: that the Bible in the early Reformation was passionately desired, not for the book as such, nor to have it as a weapon against the Church and its superfluous appendages, but as a help to find a better way to God.

The object of observation were 4 men: Greek Catholic priest Father Volodymyr, head of the Church Brotherhood Ivan, a supporter of Krishna Victor, and your obedient servant, the first author to memorize the authentic Lord's Prayer in Aramaic. Results. The neurotropic effects of Prayer are manifested in two inhibitory and three activating patterns. The first inhibitory pattern reflects the decrease in elevated and upper limit levels of SPD of θ-and δ-rhythm in frontal loci and the second - decrease in normal SPD levels of β-and θ-rhythm in the frontal, central, temporal and parietal loci. The first activating pattern reflects a small increase in normal levels of β-rhythm index and asymmetry and SPD entropy in locus C3, as well as a further increase in elevated δ-rhythm SPD levels in loci P3 and T3. The second pattern reflects the slight increase in normal SPD levels of θ-rhythm in loci T3, T5, T6, O2 and α-rhythm in locus T5, as well as their indices and entropy SPD in locus O2. The third pattern reflects a slight increase in amplitude and SPD of α-rhythm in central, frontal, temporal and occipital loci.

Concrete Words

Jesus Christ - God's Wordby Ebbe FibigerOne of the most characteristic traits in Grundtvig’s ministry as preacher and hymn-writer is his use of the expression “God’s Word” as a name for Christ. God created the world through the Word. He let the Word dwell among people through Jesus Christ, and He creates what is now amongst us through the Word. Creation and Redemption through the Word - these are the major elements in Grundtvig’s theology. The place where Redemption occurs is the Church. It is here that Jesus is born and resurrected in the Word.This theology links up with Grundtvig’s use, from 1823 onwards, of the expression, “The Word is Life and Spirit”. This means at least two things: that the Word as the Word of Life triumphs over death (that is, the death of man); and that the Word as Spirit brings God’s Kingdom closer through the Church.However, it is Jesus’ concrete Words that have the quality of being “Life and Spirit”. Grundtvig fastens on the imperatives with which Jesus makes things happen. For example, ‘effata’, (be opened) to the deaf and dumb man (Mark 7:34), ‘Weep not’ to the widow of Nain (Luke 7:13) and ‘Peace’ to the disciples after the resurrection (e.g. John 20:21). With these words Jesus acts from power. This power is felt most powerfully, however, in the words of the rituals: in the questions and answers of the creed, in the words of baptism, in the Lord’s Prayer and the blessing of peace at baptism, and in the words of the Eucharist. There are similarities but also differences between the ritual words and the non-ritual. The common link is that in particular the Words are a means of power, but whereas the Words of the Eucharist and baptism take effect with no conditions attached, the Words heard in the rest of the Church’s witness only take effect on condition that the human heart believes. We can learn from Grundtvig not to say “only the Word”. His theology of the Word puts a capital W on the word, for the theology of the Word is not just word-play.

In the baptismal ritual of the Church of Denmark, the Lord’s Prayer has since 1912 been placed after baptism while it formerly was placed before, as in Luther’s Taufbüchlein. Two consecutive articles argue that the replacement in 1912 was influenced by the theology of Nikolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig. The current first article deals with Grundtvig’s understanding of baptism as a sacrament, and his view and criticism of the baptismal ritual of his time.

The Church

During the Liturgical Revival of the Victorian period, the worship of the Church of Scotland changed more radically than at any time since the seventeenth century. Those who favoured reform felt that the largely unstructured and didactic character of Presbyterian services no longer appealed to many sections of society. The upper classes, for example, were turning in increasing numbers to the worship of the Episcopal Church. In addition some reformers wished the liturgy of the Kirk to reflect more clearly the doctrinal basis of the Reformed tradition. The innovations which were pioneered in this period included a change in the posture of the congregation for prayer and for singing, the introduction of prayers read by the minister instead of being delivered extempore; the use of set forms such as the Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Doxology; the singing of hymns as well as psalms; the use of organs to accompany praise; the observance of the main festivals of the Christian year, and the greater frequency of holy communion.
