ISBN10: 0618773606, ISBN13: 9780618773602, [publisher: Houghton Mifflin] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This landmark work presents prayer in all its richness and variety throughout history, across traditions, and around the globe. In a thorough and fascinating look at this spiritual practice, two of today's most versatile and admired authorities on religion probe the language and fruits of prayer, its controversies, and its prospects for the future. With a focus on extraordinary stories of lives changed by prayer and on great works of literature and art inspired by it, Prayer: A History promises to be the standard on the subject for readers of all faiths.
