Summary

In "Lord, Teach Us To Pray," Andrew Murray presents a profound exploration of prayer, grounded in the teachings of Christ and the spiritual wisdom of the ages. Murray employs a clear, didactic style that invites readers into a deeper understanding of the nature and purpose of prayer. His work is situated within the larger context of 19th-century Christian spirituality, where the pursuit of a more intimate relationship with God was paramount. Through biblical exegesis and personal reflection, Murray elucidates the various dimensions of prayer, emphasizing its role as both a duty and a privilege for believers seeking spiritual enlightenment and growth. Andrew Murray, a prominent South African minister and writer, dedicated his life to the ministry and the cultivation of spiritual vitality among Christians. Raised in a devout Dutch Reformed family, his experiences in the revivalist movements influenced his emphasis on prayer as a transformative force. Murray's theological background, alongside his pastoral experience, inspired him to articulate a vision of prayer that transcends mere ritual and fosters genuine communion with God. This timeless work is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to enrich their prayer life and deepen their spiritual practice. Murray's insights not only encourage reflective engagement with God but also challenge readers to cultivate a lifestyle of prayer that can profoundly impact their faith journey.

We tend to be perplexed by the psalmists who express delight in God's laws. We see biblical law as a long list of rules with harsh punishments, and the more we read the biblical law within modern legal frameworks, the stranger it appears. We are too estranged from its world, aims, and concerns to see its beauty and wisdom. 
 
In Understanding Biblical Law, Dru Johnson 
reorients the reader to see biblical law through ancient Israelite eyes. He deconstructs common myths regarding biblical law and shows how it often differs significantly from both modern law and ancient Near Eastern law. Johnson weaves in an ancient murder mystery between chapters to show how ancient Israelites could have reasoned with and through Torah to solve real-life problems. He then demonstrates how we can do the same by discerning biblical law's literary and historical contexts, appreciating its sophisticated wisdom, and distinguishing it from our modern legal notions. 
 
This book is engaging and accessible for undergrads and laypeople but robust enough for seminarians. Johnson demonstrates a skill-based approach for interpreting Old Testament law and uses examples to encourage readers to practice these skills for themselves. 
 
When we enter the biblical world, we see with the psalmists the beauty and sophistication of Israel's laws and discover a rich resource for thinking about the law's theological implications for Hellenistic Judaism, the New Testament, and readers today.
