In this unusual and captivating commentary, acclaimed poet, priest, and professor José Tolentino Mendonça casts a keen and probing eye on that most beautiful of prayers, the Our Father. He goes far beyond the usual line-by-line biblical and spiritual exegesis and offers readers a cultural, literary, and indeed spiritual commentary couched in a compelling style that also reveals his poetic gift. Elie Wiesel, Raymond Carver, Angelus Silesius, St. Augustine, Cervantes, St. Paul, Thomas Merton, T. S.
