The Real Lord's Prayer

The High-Priestly prayer of John 17 is one of the most wonderful and exciting portions in the whole of Scripture.

As we read it, we 'intrude' on the monologue directed by God the Son to God the Father. Few of Christ's prayers have been recorded for us, and this is the longest - it is actually the longest prayer in the whole of the New Testament.

It was spoken at a critical time, marking the end of the early ministry of Jesus and looked forward to spread of the Gospel throughout the world by the apostles and their successors.

As Ian McNaughton demonstrates in this thorough examination of the key doctrines that come to the fore in the prayer, John 17 takes us to the very heart of the Christian faith and to who Jesus Christ really was.
