In this book, a socio-rhetorical analysis blending literary with social sciences approaches provides the exegetical leverage to explore Matthew's use of the Lord's Prayer in shaping the identity of his community in the antiquity. The book lays down a foundation for drawing insights from the Lord's Prayer concerning Christian norms, values, and traditions that are pertinent to pastors, students, researchers, and lecturers who are interested in exploring matters of identity in their communities, institutions, and society at large.
