Jesus’ early teachings, as embodied in the Lord’s Prayer, are partly formulated by way of two requests that are undeniably economic in their content: (i) “Give us today our daily bread” and (ii) “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” I propose to explore Jesus’ meaning by taking seriously, almost literally, these two requests and comparing them with related requests that we nowadays would be more inclined to make. I also try to investigate the connection between the two requests.

Abstract
Jesus’ early teachings, as embodied in the Lord’s Prayer, are partly formulated by way of two requests that are undeniably economic in their content: (i) “Give us today our daily bread” and (ii) “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” I propose to explore Jesus’ meaning by taking seriously, almost literally, these two requests and comparing them with related requests that we nowadays would be more inclined to make. I also try to investigate the connection between the two requests.File in questo prodotto:
