Summary

"Our Father, who is in heaven..." These words and the rest of the Lord's Prayer are so familiar. They remind us to seek God, draw us into communal prayer with the church, and bring comfort. However, while we repeat words we cherish, sometimes this familiarity becomes distance. In this episode, co-host Amy Hughes talks with Dr. Justo González about his new book Teach Us To Pray: The Lord’s Prayer in the Early Church and Today (Eerdmans, 2020). Let us come to the Lord's Prayer anew, without fear and with new understanding. The post Justo González – Prayer in the Early Church and Today first appeared on OnScript.

0:26.7	Hello, friends. Welcome to OnScript. This is Amy Brownh Hughes, a co-host for the podcast with Matt Lynch, Matt Bates, Aaron Heim, Drew Johnson, and Chris Tilling. Today, I have the pleasure of
0:32.7	speaking with Dr. Husto Gonzalez. He's a retired United Methodist minister and professor of historical theology.
0:39.8	Calling him a prolific author feels a bit like an understatement, considering he's written

1:05.2	I was assigned his books in my classes. He helped me fall in love with the early church.
1:10.4	In addition, his book,
1:12.0	Manana, Christian theology from a Hispanic perspective, has stuck with me for many years,
1:16.9	especially his articulation of what it means to responsibly remember the past. I'm deeply
1:22.0	grateful for his work, as I'm sure so many of you are as well. If you've not had the pleasure
1:26.6	of reading Husto's work before,
1:28.4	this book we're going to talk about today is a good place to start. All righty, let's get started.
1:33.8	Welcome, Husto. Thank you. It's a good. It's a pleasure to be with you, and I'm looking
1:37.8	forward to this conversation. So on the podcast, we have theologians from a variety of disciplines.
1:45.8	And I'm delighted to have a fellow historical theologian to talk with today.
