Neil Douglas-Klotz begins by revealing the rich layers of meaning enfolded within the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic – the language that Jesus and his disciples actually spoke.üüThrough his insightful Aramaic translations, Douglas-Klotz opens a window into the Lord’s Prayer that allows us to hear and understand the teachings of Jesus as he authentically taught them two thousand years ago. A Way to Experience Scripture Directly, through the Body Verse by verse, Original Prayer guides us through a series of 24 specific practices of “body prayer” – the original Middle Eastern form of meditation that uses chant, breathing, and awareness to engage the entire body and spirit in contemplation of scripture.
